  | sent on 11 Novembre 2025 Pros: Excellent image quality, comparable to fixed lenses Cons: Weight and dimensions but absolutely justified by the quality of the lens Opinion: The Canon 28-70 is my ultimate all-around lens, perfect for shooting outdoors in natural light. With this lens, I can easily switch between landscape and detail, resulting in image quality comparable to that of many prime lenses. The colors are true, the details are rich and the overall rendering is really balanced. Essentially, it's a lens that allows me to cover multiple focal lengths without compromising on quality. |
 | sent on 24 Giugno 2024 Pros: Show, for now, just a few days after the purchase... Cons: Weight and focal ring... Opinion: Don't tell me that this lens has no flaws, because that's absolutely not true. Let's start with the weight, as soon as you take it out of the box you will notice it, indeed while you are taking it out you will already start to wonder, but there is a concrete block hanging from it... However, we can get over the weight given the quality of the optics, so it can be okay. However, it unbalances the forward weight a lot if mounted on a small body like my R6ii, we will see later on R5. But the thing that is most unpleasant to me is the focal ring, too close to the camera body and therefore my hands touch each other when I go to full scale! For now, we'll see over time any updates... |
 | sent on 31 Dicembre 2023 Pros: all Cons: nothing Opinion: Those who complain about its weight would clearly prefer a 24 70. I'm just saying that I've been working with fixed L 1.2 rf and 1.4 sigma art cameras for years, so I guess you know what I'm talking about. I had tried this zoom quickly on a few occasions and I always snubbed it. Lately the monkey has had the upper hand and thanks to a friend who owns it I was able to do more accurate tests. Surprised by the yield at f2 I decided to buy it. I would like to point out that you can do so much to the point of selling both 35 ii and 28 art. I also put on sale the 40 art keeping the 50 and 85 rf which certainly give as many different satisfactions |
 | sent on 21 Agosto 2023 Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: Devastating optics in quality, 4 fixed lenses of 1.6kg. An edge-to-edge blade and soft in out-of-focus transactions. It has been glued to the R5 for months and every new shot is a satisfaction. Expensive? No... 4 quality fixed lenses do not cost less put together Heavy ? No same speech as before. Shooting for over 30 years and few times indeed I would say never I saw a zoom lens of this level, perhaps Zeiss 28-85 3.3 / 4 x Contax but they were other times and still different openings in short another story. Congratulations to Canon unique and splendid work |
 | sent on 24 Maggio 2023 Pros: All Cons: In my case, nothing! Opinion: It is a stratospheric target. It's true, with a generous size and weight but perfect for my user experience. At the moment I don't particularly suffer from size or weight. The build quality and the quality of the photos it produces is the best. Even at full openness. The autofocus is always precise and fast. He doesn't miss a beat. If I really have to find a defect, I would have preferred the dial for the focal change slightly ahead so as not to compress the wrist too much. I would recommend it to anyone. |
  | sent on 25 Gennaio 2023 Pros: All Cons: Weight Opinion: I made the summary in the pros and cons. The qualities of this lens have been said before me! As Checco79 says, the lens is supplied to itself, very true. Soon I will try it at a wedding and I will be able to evaluate its characteristics and potential. But already at home rehearsals and portrait of his wife I can say: she is fantastic! The cost is related to quality and features. If you think of compact, excellent camera bodies, such as the Leica Q2, the 28-70 + R6 costs less and gives greater satisfaction. Then everyone does as they like. |
 | sent on 09 Gennaio 2023 Pros: all a pleasure to use Cons: obviously the weight and bulk Opinion: what can I say.... It's heavy ?yes.... and' cumbersome?si.ma if you go beyond these obviousness' you come across a lens fantastico.la construction in my opinion and' at the top, and we would miss someone would say seen the cost.per a use of travel I do not think I would take it with me ..... Although I would be sorry.I do not enter the technical comments on the blurred, sharpness, and various others because' I do not feel so expert to give these opinions.dico only that use it and' pleasant, that you can do various genres and I do not have problems the fact that it is only 28 and 70, if I know that I need more I bring other goals. |
 | sent on 03 Novembre 2022 Pros: Solid, heavy, interesting blurry, fascinating quality. Cons: I have not found any apart from the diameter that sometimes involves some difficulties, especially to those who are observed from a short distance by a 95 mm lens. Opinion: I had snubbed this lens by imagining it slow and overrated. I got to try it and changed my mind. All the reviews I have read find me agree in calling it unique and gorgeous. I appreciated everything and the fact that it does not reach 24 mm I see it more as a feature than a limit, I do not want those who often would like to get to 24 without having to mount a 15-35 or similar. |
 | sent on 27 Maggio 2022 Pros: To love immediately. Perfect yield. An ignorant beast like not a few. Cons: Heavy. The first time the forearms sore for two days. It makes you regret it was a personal training. Woe betide complaining that he whips you. Opinion: The lack of stabilizer is felt immediately because of how fluid and responsive it is. Details, blurred, AF rendering, colors, all excellent. One of Canon's first one-of-a-kind R-system jewels. Incomparable. Excellence embodied. I confirm what they wrote in previous reviews. Vote +10. At 70mm F2 you don't miss the various 85 or 105mm for portraits. At 28 and 35 excellent environmental performance for ceremonies and you can sometimes avoid flash. The other optics look at her defiantly but she squares them with that nice 95mm filler and they turn pale, and I more vain than her. Ignorant to beast for size and weight but you love it immediately. Silent as the most mischievous lover, a pork optics like not a few and is noticed by others so it is flashy and vain. Live is a show and the R5 is happy as never before. |
 | sent on 22 Febbraio 2022 Pros: Autofocus, colors, sharpness, three-dimensionality, blurred, in practice the general rendering Cons: Weight, overall dimensions, 28mm instead of 24 Opinion: I've been aiming at it since it came out. I thought about it a lot, I informed myself a lot, then when I took it home I gave myself a c*glione for not having done it before. The first thing I appreciate is that I don't waste more time deciding, "Will there be enough light? Do I take the 24-70 f2.8 or will I need the fixeds?" Then I no longer have to edit photos made with different lenses trying to match the colors, I do everything (and well) with a single lens. I'm using it for reportage and corporate shooting, when there are conditions I try to put it to the whip with the backlight pushed to f2 without ever going into crisis, it loses a bit of contrast but it is perfectly solvable in post. It is very engraved and has a very gradual out of focus, the colors are always well balanced, it has character without becoming too invasive. The AF is really lightning fast, coupled with the R6 rarely fails. I tried to whip them by photographing my daughter who does not stand still for a moment and during a concert in a club, although the group was quite loaded I only have three out-of-focus photos out of 600, shooting from under the stage. The machine works very well at such open apertures. I miss the ability to shoot at 24mm, the 28 goes close to it but sometimes they are not enough. Its real drawback is the weight, if you do not use it for a while you go out of training and the arms and wrists suffer, but it is also my fault that I am rather mingherlino. I solved by buying a nice wide shoulder strap, the attachment to the back of the machine and does not clutter the opening of the articulated monitor. In summary: it is a lens that accompanies itself. I put on sale all the EF kit, I thought I felt the lack of 24L and 50L, and instead... |
 | sent on 15 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Build quality, colors, sharpness, blurry, three-dimensionality Cons: Overall dimensions and weight Opinion: I join all those who in this perspective see as "against" only bulk and weight. Well, you are right. That is, not that the 24-70 RF 2.8 is a chaffinch, that it costs little, or that it is light is clear, but this 28-70 is something that when you touch it the first time you are really amazed. But the good thing is that you are also amazed by the results. Sharpness at the top, divinely controlled AC, a creamy, generous blurry, already at 28mm.. And when you print the photos taken with the 28-70 you remain stupid for the three-dimensionality. It is not a reportage lens, perhaps, it is for me more like a portrait but also a ceremony, but what it does, in that not very wide range of focal lengths, it does very well. And the quality unfortunately you pay but trust it is worth it. |
  | sent on 26 Dicembre 2020 Pros: Image quality and build quality; sharpness; sealed well enough to hold under water and dust/sand. Full-time manual focus. Cons: Weight and footprint (but they are obvious more than against), lack of stabilization; huge front filter size of 95 mm Opinion: It is the best zoom lens I have tested for "overall" quality due to the constant f2 aperture. Fantastic bokeh, exceptional sharpness, character in the engraving of the image already at full opening, beautiful colors and no "real" technical problem. The bokeh is creamy on the longest end and quite "nebulous" at 28 mm. Those who want to isolate the subject in a scene will immediately go on turns thanks to the combination of the f2 opening with the ISOs; zooming allows you to "hold" ISOs. Autofocus is fast and tracking performance is also remarkable: to be picky in low light conditions, the focus is generally very accurate, but it can happen that you are wrong... I used the zoom 28-70mm f2 L USM almost exclusively for portraits: in this area the shot is rarely wrong unless you find us with an extreme backlight with face detection enabled. Considering how "gigantic" this lens is, no doubt it would have been better if it were totally waterproof... I think the optimum use is for portraits, weddings or events in general: frankly I wouldn't consider it for other types of use, although for photo-journalism and landscape you could argue... I close this short review pointing out that Canon considers this lens as a "zoom" alternative to fixed optics (the 28, 35, 50 and 70 mm) ... The fact that this zoom is an absolutely unique product in its specifications combined with the concept that certainly less interest to a large segment of consumers, I believe can "pass" the concept that it is an optics that does not need to make sense: after all you could say that it is an excellent "testimonial" to the RF system ... |
 | sent on 29 Novembre 2019 Pros: Image quality, brightness, charm Cons: size (but you know), nothing more Opinion: It's the optics that I call DEFINITIVE, you mount it and you do everything to it. You have brightness, blurry, quality.... it's an exaggerated lens. The AF is fast even in critical condition. Size sometimes leads you to make choices, for example during a holiday I would bring the excellent 24-105 RF and not that.... but physics is physics. One-of-a-kind optics, my favorite... Rating 10 |
 | sent on 29 Maggio 2019 Pros: Zoom standard full format f:2 of the highest and constant optical quality, built as a Soviet T34: what else? Cons: OF Course: weight, size, price Opinion: It's not a zoom. They are 4 excellent fixed focal lengths of high brightness and high quality even at full aperture, alternating on the machine body without the need to disassemble the lens. I don't know how to describe it better than that. One caveat: Buy a wide shoulder strap to replace the slim lanyard that they give you along with the EOS R. Joking aside, this lens is a boon for those who often work in light reduced environment; But it also has the three-dimensionality of the best fixed focal lengths that have passed by hand in thirty years of clicks, the micro-contrast of a macro, the high AF speed, an impeccable construction. I don't own it since much, unfortunately so far I've only done a hundred test shots, but for my kind of photography it's fabulous. Good light |
