Here is the Canon EOS R6 Mark II & Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM

I hope it's not like the old one where you had to do open heart surgery on it just to tighten the screws. Hopefully we can access it without doing all that crap.

There goes the dream of a RF 135mm f/1.4L IS USM lens. 
But not bad... it's priced exactly to the Sony FE 135mm f/1.8 GM Lens
$700 & $1,100 more expensive than the Sigma & Samyang equivalent.

It’s still a lot of bread when you consider the 135 f2 from canon or 135 1.8 from sigma, yes there is IS but all these cameras have sensor stabe so is there a need for IS (aside from the r and rp which someone would comment about if I didn’t write this)I was expecting it to be slightly more expensive than the RF85 f/1.2L, due to the IS. I'll wait to the actual price in Euros before agreeing with it being '... reasonable'
The new canon lenses might be sharp and or considered clinical but lack character. The original 135 is pretty amazing and you can find great uses ones for 550-675. New is not always better in my opinion. The beauty of canons mirrorless is how it makes ef lenses even more usable.

Not to mention that with the EF 135mm f/2L, you can also use it with the back variable ND filter if you have the "filter adapter".
For someone shooting with off camera flash outside and wanting ultra shallow depth of field + very light flash setup, this is very convenient.

Totally agree. I sold almost all my EF lenses when I went mirrorless but I kept the 132 f2 L because I've always loved the images it produces. It would take some stellar reviews to make it worth it for me to get the new RF lens. But I'm still surprised the price isn't $3299 with the explanation of inflation + IS + 1.8 + reasons.
