Hi,

the UFRAW plugin [1][2] is your friend here.
Please keep in mind that the current UFRAW plugin doesn't work with GIMP 
2.8.2. Please use GIMP 2.6 or GIMP 2.8.0 then or use UFRAW as standalone 
RAW processor. Another way would be processing the RAW files in Canons 
own RAW processor Digital Photo Professional, export them as JPEG or 
TIFF and reopen them in GIMP. This seems to be more inconvenient on the 
first look, but lets you better use Canon camera features than a generic 
RAW processor and have GIMPs image editing features as well.

You find more information on UFRAW in the GIMP-User mailing list [3]. 
There were some postings to this topic this November and December.

BTW AFAIK Canons RAW format is CR2. Is RF2 a typo or is something new 
approaching us?

Kind regards,

Sven
