Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z

Pros: Very high optical quality, even with extender. Lightness and balance.

Cons: Only marginal elements. 82mm filters instead of 77mm. Rendering of the light points at the edges.

Opinion: Lens of the highest level. It improves compared to its collapsible sister lens, especially at the minimum focal length. It maintains a very pleasant blur and a very good speed even doubled. With 1.4x extender indistinguishable from smooth, with 2x the drop is there but it is really minimal, compared with for example the 100-500 on the same focal lengths and at full aperture the difference in resolution is really small, which was unthinkable until lenses of a few generations ago. The blur is pleasant, the rendering of the highlights is very good even if the cat-eye effect typical of aspherical elements can become more evident at the edges. The flare resistance is also excellent. So light and balanced that it seems to have a white instead of a short-toed eagle. In this the advantage in use compared to the non-Z version is truly remarkable. Too bad for the 82mm filters: it would have been preferable to have a 77mm diameter as in the case of the non-Z version. It is difficult to find a fault with this lens, apart from a very high price.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM

Pros: Compactness, color rendering, blurred, operating speed

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Great lens with excellent sharpness even over long distances. Excellent color rendering, particularly appreciable on portrait, with more open shadows than other canvases such as the 100-400 IS2 (but also 70-200 of other brands had in the past) and remarkable naturalness of rendering on the complexion. Excellent in backlight, both for the rendering of light sources and for reading shadows: on this undoubtedly the best lens I have ever had. Perhaps only the zooming can be improved, neither smooth nor braking enough to avoid accidental stretching. Excellent construction also of bracket and hood. Balance with the current bodies R not optimal I assume changes with R3.
