Pros: Lightning-fast AF, sharpness, lightness

Cons: Missing tripod ring

Opinion: I've had and used for years the 70-200 f4 L (non-stabilized), the 70-200 f4 L stabilized first series, 70 200 f2.8 L first series, I think this new lens is the best I've ever had as a 70-200mm. It has incredible sharpness, it's lightweight, it supports 1.4 extenders very well (which the RF doesn't support) that's what decided me, diametre 72mm filters. I use it on R7 and R6II, AF very fast and perfect. For me it was an exchange (RCE) not obvious at the start and once I tried it no regrets.

Pros: AF speed, weight and footprint great to be a 70-200, build quality, sharpness

Cons: usual Canon bag, price

Opinion: I was torn between this and 2.8, trying them both, I can say that the difference you can only find in the best bokeh for the big brother, and also for photos with low brightness. for the rest if you want to earn in transportability and also about 500 euros of savings to invest on something else, take this. third generation stabilizer that works very well, weight not even 800gr. the only thing against me is the high price, but in the end it's a full-face L series.

Pros: Size, lightness, sharpness, 5-stop stabilizer

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I say that I use it in conjunction with the EOS R and I feel great. The af is really fast and, combined with a fast camera, does not miss a beat. I did the test with long focal, f4 and with a person who ran to meet me. The result was great, I don't have a blurry photo! As for the sharpness, I'm really very satisfied. I often use it at f4 to create the blur and I find it very sharp. The 5 stop stabilizer is really great! To demonstrate this, I can admit that I took photographs at long focal length, maybe just 200mm, capturing the subjects in the foreground, and I stretched the time even to 1/8s! I add that I was not even in a comfortable condition because I made it standing and with the "well" room. Negatives I can't find. As for the weight and size they are in favor of this lens rather than the older brother f2.8. The lightness of the f4 makes it, in my opinion, more pleasant to use as it is less tiring for the arms. If you photograph in the evening and/or look for a more noticeable blurry one, then you need to pull out other dindins and do the muscles with your older brother. If you do not have this requirement I would say that the f4 is the best solution.

Pros: Construction, image rendering, stabilizer 5 stop, lampshade

Cons: Tripod ring not included.

Opinion: Taken at the opportunity in place of my previous canon EF 70-200 f4 first version without IS. The construction yield is as good as ever and the white is a guarantee. Made great image, I will do several tests in the coming weeks but the improvements are all there. The autofocus is fast and much more precise and quieter than the non is and is first version. Finally the lampshade is grafted with precision (it has the lock hook) and you do not have to go to attempts to mount it. If you don't have the need or the ability to take the 2.8 (with also a nice weight/cost saving) this f4 is great. Rating 10/10

Pros: Quality construction, image quality further improved of the already excellent first series, effective stabilizer.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Having owned and used for years the 70-200 F4 L (non-stabilized), the 70-200 F4 L stabilized first series, 70 200 f 2.8 Stabilized first series, I think this new lens is the best I've ever had. It has an exciting sharpness and then is light to carry around, when I had the 2.8 if very good I often leave it at home for the footprint and above all the weight. I also had the 70-300 F4/5.6 L which although smaller overall was still heavy and then I think that freehand already 300 mm are challenging. In any case stabilized or not if you want crystalline photos you have to use a shutter speed three times the focal length you are using (at least from 150 mm up). For the sake of the stabilizers do more or less their job, you can take home if you are in light critical photo still printable, but the crystal engraving you get only with the times before described.
