Which of your DSLRs do you plan to mount it to?

It will only mount on mirrorless, for me will mount on RP.

It looks like it MIGHT be a non-extending zoom - can ANYONE confirm or deny this ??? thanks ....

It's an extending zoom Larry. It's seen in Canon's press release video.

I believe it's $899 which I suppose is affordable considering most RF lenses are overly expensive right now.

The video Camera Labs review on utube shows the lens extends when zooming from 24mm to the max 240mm.

Duplicating the 24-240mm Sony lens that has been on the market for several years.

Its one of the economy, entry level mirrorless lenses Canon is releasing for their RP body.

Yes, I find somewhat ODD that Canon is now seeming to copy Sony !?

If Sony is making a 24-120 and Canon is making a 24-240, that is not copying Sony. Twice as long.

I'm probably not a buyer. I try to avoid variable f/stop lenses.

i have a tamron 28-300 for my canon mark 4 and find it to be a great travel lens at half the cost.
