What do you think Canon's next EF lens will be within the next two years, if any?

The EF 500 F4 lll and 300 F2.8 are rumored to be in the works. The 400 F2.8 and 600 F4 lll are now available for pre order... and soon to hit the streets.

Can't see them not bringing out a new 1DX for the Olympics in 2020, and that will probably come with some new high-end glass with the 300mm & 500mm likely, along with a standard zoom L" kit" lens, or a refresh of an existing one. There may also be a new prosumer level DSLR in that time frame for those who don't like mirrorless for whatever reason, and that might also come with a new EF (or maybe EF-S) kit lens/refresh.

They only have so many production lines though, so I think the main focus is going to be RF going forwards, with any new EF lenses being entirely dependant on how well the DSLR bodies continue to sell.

RF mount and a the successor to IDX II will be mirrorless.
