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.

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...

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

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

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.
