RF 3rd Party Lens Approval by Canon

Canon has green-lit some lenses,

"Canon has said that it is going to license specific third-party lenses on a case-by-case basis, starting with the recent Voigtlander 50mm f/1.0 lens. It will be the first third-party lens that can communicate with the body's RF mount without an adapter, and Canon is also in talks with other manufacturers about more third-party lenses. "

Makes sense I guess - approve any lens that isn't going to eat into Canon lens sales.

Note that the Voigtlander is a manual lens and not one Canon would have any future intention of producing.

Meike announced their 85 1.4 AF lens would be the first approved AF RF third party lens when they displayed it at the NAB show in Las Vegas in April.
Maybe they jumped the gun?
So it remains a total of 0 available approved third party RF lenses, AF or MF.

Per the linked article, "At last! Canon has given the green light to a third-party RF lens – but how many more will we see?"
A lens, not lenses and that lens has yet to be released, despite the M mount being released early 2022.

Specs that the M Mount share with the RF mount as per linked article:
The optical design consists of 9 lens elements in 7 optical groups
Number of aperture blades: 12
Minimal focus distance (MFD): 0.9m

Physical dimensions differ but it seems to be the same lens, optimized for Canon, as is the case for other Voigt lenses released for both M and Sony E.

So, possible this might be more accurate:
"At last! Canon has given the green light to a third-party RF lens – but will we ever see it?"
