This is a list and pricing for all of the known third-party lenses that are available for Canon's RF mount. All of these manufacturers are reputable and available at major retailers. I will be updating this list as new lenses are rumoured or announced.
Third-party RF mount lenses are mostly manual focus at this time. Samyang/Rokinon both have some autofocus lenses, but we don't expect to see many more until SIGMA and Tamron get into the segment.
SIGMA
SIGMA does not currently offer any RF mount lenses, but that will likely change sometime in 2021 or 2022.
Tamron
Tamron has been silent thus far in regards to making lenses for the RF mount, but I suspect we'll see something from them this year.

Maybe you have new evidence. Perhaps our safari experts like Grant Atkinson can report back on the R5/R6 in the field.
Obviously the R5 works great on black and white test subjects like test charts, so there may be nothing too this, but perhaps certain blacks absorb enough light, and then additional light is lost at the bayer filter, that AF on black subjects is off a bit. Perhaps not that different from AF slowing down in low light. Pure speculation on my part.
And when somethings move a bit fast it really overdoes (if that’s a word) the searching.
with a dslr it was much smaller movement and much smaller misses and much closer to focus always.
Perhaps nature of focus by wire, but nonetheless it’s a very different behavior, and not better..

Maybe a mistake of an admin.
I would send a PM to Canon Rumors Guy.
At least it would be useful to change the title. Could be done by You.;)
