The 135/2 L was manufactured and sold by Canon until recently. It has been said that Canon supports lenses for five years after manufacturing stops. Obviously this is not the case.

I went to Canon's site and it is crazy what lenses are gone already.

Actual manufacturing of the 135L may have stopped long ago.

Why is it crazy that Canon is slowly winding down the EF line?

This I would understand if Canon already had a broad differentiated lines of RF lenses - basic, enthusiastic and pro zooms, same for lineups of primes. But RF lenses are still lacking A LOT!

They seem to have plenty of zooms basic, enthusiast and pro to me. As for primes, the only thing I am missing is a 135. It will come. Until then I will use my EF 135.

Should we prefer that they make the delivery of new RF product take even longer by making EF product that probably doesn’t have that much of a “new” market any more? All of that stuff is available used and will continue to be for some time.
