The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Pros: Weight, Portability and Sensational Autofocus Cons: Zoom rotation travel Opinion: After years of using pretty much all the EF 70-200 f/2.8 versions (except the stabilized Mark III), I've been working with the new RF 70-200 f/2.8 IS for a couple of weeks now. I have already put it to the test in rhythmic gymnastics events and competitions, so I can give some concrete impressions. I start with what I was aware I had to accept: the non-compatibility with extenders. The only real limitation I found in use, however, is the zoom travel, a bit long. You get used to it, but it remains less immediate than the previous EFs. For the rest, the merits are truly remarkable, and many concern historical defects of the SLR versions: • Weight: the gain is enormous during a working day. The difference, at the end of the event, is very much felt. • Tripod/monopod collar: on the EF, the presence of the pins marked the ring and, over time, the rotations became less and less fluid, until the obligatory passage in assistance. Here, however, the rotation is not very fast but remains fluid, especially without pins that over time can loosen and ruin the mechanism. Autofocus chapter: very fast and very precise. I had no hesitation, even in less than ideal conditions. The minimum focusing distance of 0.70 m is also very appreciable, really useful for creative close-ups or to tighten up on details in competition. Sharpness: excellent but not exaggerated, well balanced. Bokeh: very good. Personally, I continue to prefer the "smooth" EF 70-200 f/2.8 one, which to my taste returns a slightly more three-dimensional image. But it's a question of character, not quality. For rhythmic gymnastics I deactivate the stabilizer (to avoid micro-delays in focusing on fast subjects), while in events I use it and I appreciated its great effectiveness. sent on December 04, 2025 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Pros: Unbeatable value for money Cons: Ring for monopod attachment Opinion: I've had it for a few months and combined with the R6, it becomes a sniper for sport, in particular for rhythmic gymnastics. Excellent sharpness, but not excessive as I like it and excellent blur. The only flaw, but this of all or almost all the 70-200 f2.8 I had, is the outer ring on which the lens rotates in rapid changes of framing in sports photos. The very small screws that it touches are easily unscrewed. Next year the construction project turns 30 and is still holding its own!! sent on November 14, 2024 |
 | Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Everything desirable, except 2.8! Cons: Nobody Opinion: Sharpness from center to edges, very fast autofocus, colors, light and excellently stabilized, excellent macro possibility. I think it is the clear example of excellent historicity and value for money of EF lenses, absolutely performing in mirrorless, in my case, in the R6. Fantastic value for money! sent on September 11, 2024 |
 | Sigma 24-35mm f/2.0 DG HSM Art Pros: Sharpness, colors, robustness, beautiful bokeh, last but not least the autofocus!! Ps. update after many more photos... Cons: Not having had it before two days ago... Maybe it's the fact that the zoom ring rotates in the opposite direction for us canonists..., but it's a trifle!! Opinion: A truly superb, wonderful lens! Really three fixed lenses in one! Sharpness really at the highest level and not annoying! It's sturdy and solid! It has a really creamy blur and makes every photo a 3D! Excellent auto focus that is enhanced with mirrorless cameras and makes it stand out!! There are those who say that it weighs too much, in my opinion it is the physical proof of how excellent this 24-35 is and how much substance there is!! It strengthened my thinking... Mirrorless lenses cost proportionally a heresy!! I think they can hardly reach this quality, with a much higher cost! If you are undecided, do one thing, buy it used on Amazon and at worst send it back, but I warn you, it will be a lot of love at first sight and at first shot!! Ps. update after many more photos... Apparently the focal range is little... Actually, there really is a world from 24 to 35mm!! It's an amazing lens that the more I use it, the more it excites me!! sent on December 11, 2023 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: Very high quality/price ratio - Colors - Blurred - Immediacy of speed autofocus - Lightness Cons: Absolutely none Opinion: All the Pros listed, found on R6!! Lens that does not suffer in the least the machine of modern generation, indeed, it is exalted in all respects! Cost absolutely ridiculous and affordable for everyone It's really like having a cashier's check, definitely resalable at the same price if not something more! We are talking about a truly timeless L series!! sent on August 12, 2023 |
