I'm afraid the RF 1,4/135 would have known the same fate as the excellent but brick -heavy 1,7kg. Sigma 1,4/105mm. Many drooling, but only a few buying.
It would mainly have sold to studio photographers, while the RF 1,8/135 is relatively lightweight, compact and "affordable".
I never liked using polarizing or ND filter on the front of the lens. That's why the Canon adapter that permets filter between the lens and the camera is so good. Plus, one filter works with any lens (as long as it's EF mount.)This is why I decided to stop waiting for the new 135 (or what I wanted, which was an RF 105/1.4). Instead I got the Sigma 105/1.4 which works perfectly with the ND adapter and strobes for shooting outside at 1.4. Even if Canon did come out with an RF 105/1.4, I’d have to buy ND filters in what would likely be a large, expensive filter size.
Any 135/1.4 is in the realm of the supertelephotos with a price tag to match -- it would be basically a shorter version of the 200/2. Not realistic for most of us in size, weight, or cost.
yes there is IS but all these cameras have sensor stabe so is there a need for IS

Indeed. Many people don’t realize that.IBIS is generally more effective at shorter focal lengths, once you get into longer telephoto ranges IS in the lens becomes more beneficial. Having it work together with the IBIS also extends the IBIS effectiveness a bit into longer ranges as well.

I mean, if you want, you can knock yourself out -- three kilos, three grand and complimentary back pain:

Same—I just had to buy a new 24-70 and I elected to get the EF II instead of the RF for this very reason.I never liked using polarizing or ND filter on the front of the lens. That's why the Canon adapter that permets filter between the lens and the camera is so good. Plus, one filter works with any lens (as long as it's EF mount.)
That adapter is the reason I won't get rid of many EF lenses.
GPS??? even the cheapest camera these days has GPS...
What do you expect? Get an R5 for the price of an R6?The announcement, that may just be a few hours from now, might be a little underwhelming, if the camera not really is a "beast" and does not have a stacked BSI sensor. So I set my expectations very low.
It allows to shoot without mechanical shutter. And other speedy goodies) Like 4k120p etcSo , what is so great about staked sensor?
I love the new RF 85 and 50 L 1.2 lenses... much more than their EF predecessors (I had both).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)
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.
