Pros: Usefulness in the first place. Brightness, stabilization, customizable multi-function ring.

Cons: Like all RF high vignetting to ta. Plastic lens hood and filter crown

Opinion: I have never been a lover of these zooms, preferring fixed and brighter lenses. But still too useful, you can't leave it at home for any ceremony. Excellent resolution and brightness does not make me regret the primes too much. Of course the corresponding effect gave the impression of being more robust and less plastic, but here the slimming is appreciated without affecting the quality, which is already high in itself. The high vignetting, typical of all lenses for mirrorless cameras due to the decrease in the distance to the sensor, is correctable in the camera, as I think the distortion. It's not an ultrawide, so the distortion at 24mm is acceptable. I would almost have preferred a 24 105 f4, saving a millin, but I'm too fond of the brightness even if with current sensors it has a little less importance. Strongly recommended especially for its versatility.

Pros: Fast and silent autofocus, excellent color rendering, effective stabilization, great sharpness at all focal lengths both in the center and at the edges, additional ring compared to EF lenses

Cons: Noticeable vignetting at 24mm, price

Opinion: I owned the excellent Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II and this RF version is preferred mainly for 2 reasons: the presence of stabilization, useful and effective, and the addition of a customizable ring (I use it for exposure compensation). Beyond this, the new RF is slightly superior to the predecessor EF in several respects but these are, in my opinion, marginal differences. Like all standard zooms, the lens is not free from some defects, first of all an evident vignetting at 24mm and all aperture. In general, however, the performance is really high-level. The colors it returns are beautiful, the autofocus is silent and very fast and the stabilization, equally silent, makes a big difference on a lens of this type. I also add that the optics, subjective opinion, are aesthetically beautiful and well balanced when attached to my R5. Usually standard zoom lenses are hated or loved, there are no half measures! :-) For my way of photographing, which requires quality but light equipment, this kind of lens is indispensable. I am very satisfied with it!

Pros: Overall quality in line with expectations

Cons: "Price" - overall dimensions

Opinion: I have owned this lens for a few months and, in general, it is an excellent tool. Both in the photo and video environment he has been able to meet the work needs very well. Of course, the cost is felt, and the slightly larger size of the EF precursors is noticeable, but the stabilization works properly as well as the focus. I don't even discuss the optical quality since it is a reference point. There is little to do, 24-70 covers 90% of the work. I have not encountered the problems mentioned by others regarding selectors; on the contrary, I find materials and assembly truly remarkable. Overall, I find it a very nice lens to use, it can return remarkable shots and, as mentioned before, it must exist in the kit of a professional to cover a myriad of jobs. Highly recommended.

Pros: Image quality, quiet, fast

Cons: Maybe the gimbal and focus switches are too soft and you risk turning them off/on, other flaws honestly I don't know.

Opinion: Excellent image quality, fast and quiet focusing, materials pleasant to the touch, aesthetically pleasing cleaner than the EF series. Defects... I found an excessive softness of the two focus selectors and the stabilizer you risk deactivating / activating them without realizing it, honestly I don't know anything else

Pros: Optical quality, speed, sharpness, bokeh, stabilization

Cons: Weight, price

Opinion: Almost perfect lens. Perfection is only a handful of grams and millimeters less. The EF model is in fact a little lighter and more compact (RF gains the stabilizer). Unquestionably excellent optical quality. Chromatic aberrations never seen and flare contained. I point out a very small gap between zoom in and zoom out.
