oh boy, until a few years ago it was very clear what lenses to own for certain jobs: a 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 2.8... but now there is 28-70 f2 and ... 70-150 f2.

You can tell how excited Jared is by the number of innuendos that get inserted.

Tamron 35-150 f2-2.8: Am I a joke to you?!?!
Absolutely love this lens on my Nikon Z9. I use it for all my crossfit photography inside of gyms.

I have the 28/70 F2.0 on my R6mk2 and it almost never comes off. If the 70/150 F2.0 comes out it will be a dream come true . But I would have to buy another body as well so I could go anywhere from 28/150 at F2.0 in an instant.
Yes please Canon!

So it's basically the majority of RF L lenses in one, plus a zoom feature and a pretty neat aperture

[dris]

I've been beta testing Canon's new 70-150 F2.0 but can't say more because of NDAs. With that said, the fisting is next level.
Also, the new Canon 70-200 2.8s are already $4000 here in Canadia (plus 13% sales tax)... I can't imagine what the final price of the 70-150 will be.

Not a big commenter on your post Fro, but the email you sent out that linked this video was on point. Thank you for saying it so well.

After seeing them replacing the EF 300mm f/2.8 with an RF 100-300 f/2.8, I thought it would be cool to see them replace the 200mm f/2 with a 100-200 f/2

[MarkReese]

If it's not too heavy / handhold-able for a full sporting event, then I could be interested (though a 1st-party 35-150mm f/2-2.8 that can AF while zooming might be better)👊

[nightscapephotographer]

Sports and Astro Photography, yes please!!

[andrewmontague]

Are Canon ever going to open up the RF mount?!? 😕

[brilliantmiami]

I own the Tamron 35-150 f2-f2.8. The only lens on my camera. Perfect and versatile in every sense coupled with my Sony A7R5. Cheers!

[daustonian]

Both Canon lenses would be sweet, but you'd need Hulk Hogan guns in his prime to hold up both of those Canon lenses and cameras for the day! You're about half way there, Jared :) (oh, and a deep bank account too!)

[coleshill_production]

Love the big trouble in little China reference

[trueatfalse]

If this first lens of the LAB series lands well with pro and semi-pro photographers, they'll gonna bombard the market with highest tier lenses for all major camera manufacturers pretty soon. Not sure if I should look forward to or be afraid of that.

[kekchanbiggestfan]

A NINE year old sensor??? Damn, Nikon is really catching up!

[JuanRR]

I could still cancel my 70-200 f2.8 and I want to prioritize portrait photography so what do you all say? Do I wait for the 70-150 f2? Money is not the problem. Any advice would be great.

[stuartdavis]

I get the impression all of these camera/lens companies put a new lens out at intervals timed to make the photograph folks Jones just enough to get them to NEED a new lens. The lenses all seem to have a lot of redundancy and usually only offer incremental improvements for a boat load of money (see estimated $4, 000 price tag). I guess it works! They are giving the people what they want.

Before you think I'm criticizing anyone, I'm also one of these folks who Jones for the lens that will make me a marginally better photographer and am currently contemplating buying a lens that would have little to no benefit. My"dream" lens would ONLY cost $575. And I'm sure that I could also use the new Sony A1mark 2 when it comes out.

Thanks for your videos

I reeeally hope that 70-150 F2 is real and not just a rumour. That and the 28-70 as a kit could be a total game changer.
