Amazon is dealing with an apparent pricing error involving a Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 lens. While the MSRP is $2,800, Amazon had it listed for over $600 more. Once made aware, the company "fixed" it: it's now listed for $1,600 more than MSRP.
The RF 14-35mm f/4L IS USM is a brand new ultra-wide-angle zoom lens from Canon. Its impressive range of 14mm all the way to 35mm with a constant f/4 aperture in an L-series full-frame lens is a big deal, and we haven’t even gotten started.

Kolari Vision has developed a filter that works with Canon's EF to RF adapter with support for drop-in filters that can add a swirly bokeh effect to any EF lens.
