No image stabilization in 28-70f2 but all other RF f2.8 L lenses have including 2470 and 1535.

I am hoping future cameras will have IBIS for fast primes.

I've just checked the most recent L-grade RF lens lineup and all 2.8 L zooms have optical image stabilization including the 24-70 and 15-35. Even some RF prime lenses have image stabilization, too. The message is clear: I wouldn't expect in-camera image stabilization in RF cameras any soon. All other manufacturers have gone for IBIS, but Canon hasn't and possibly will not.

The RF2870f2 is meant for scenarios where image stabilization is not needed or can be avoided high shutter stills, external (gimbal) or electronic for video.
