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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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 ...
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
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
