I bought it to evaluate and try a focal length greater than 200mm. I use it mainly in landscaping and on some occasions for birdlife (which is not a genre in which I am well versed). In these scenarios I used the EF 70-200 f/4 IS USM and in some cases I found the 200mm insufficient. The weight is certainly a plus point for walks and hikes. The focal range for landscape is appreciated, as well as the maximum reproduction ratio at about 0.4X which allows you to shoot details of flora and insects. All this makes it a versatile enough lens to use outdoors. The construction is made of plastic, at the same time it seems solid enough. In my model I did not notice any play of the ferrules and the barrel once extended. I find the color rendering a bit dull compared to other lenses and then there is something more to work on in post. I find the focusing speed adequate, even if in my experience the responsiveness drops at focal lengths from 300mm upwards. This can be partly compensated by the fact that it supports the maximum shutter speeds of the RF system and therefore to have a few more photos available. Considering the price, I think it is a good purchase, especially if you prefer lightness and portability at the expense of tropicalization and brightness. sent on May 04, 2025 |
