Pros: Sharpness, color, autofocus

Cons: Weight, cost of RF lenses (all)

Opinion: !!! Update after a few (6) months of use. A lens with a list price of 3,349.99 is worth today (RCE quote) 1,950.00 euros. Unfortunately, the figures speak for themselves and all considerations on the quality of this object should be re-evaluated in the light of its cost and excessive devaluation !!! A lens that gave me again the smile and the pleasure of taking beautiful photos. The quality of Canon's L-series was a step beyond standard EFs and is now probably two steps ahead of basic RFs. Wonderful colors, optical quality, shutter speed thanks to infallible autofocus. It weighs a lot, nullifying the weight advantage of an ML compared to a SLR. It costs too much, like all RF mount lenses; let's hope at least they don't also have the big devaluation that the EF L-series had on the second-hand market.

Pros: Accurate and fast AF, lightweight, excellent image quality.

Cons: Non-internal zoom, incompatible with Extender, zoom rotation.

Opinion: I think there is little to say, the quality is excellent, the lens fast and precise in the MAF, I use it mainly for sports photos and after several months I have not yet had anything that made me regret the purchase. External zoom is a problem like a pro. The lens remains compact, but extending, in addition to the dirt that can suck, when you are leaning on a net or similar you must remember that you have to move the camera away from the net. Last thing is the rotation of the zoom, I would have preferred it slightly shorter, but nothing like that.

Pros: Compact, weight, sharpness.

Cons: Compact... maybe too much

Opinion: A lens with a focal length that I have always hated and loved on SLRs. Sometimes short both on the 70mm side and on the opposite side of the 200mm. What about this excellent lens that has not yet been said or written. Coupled with R6 and R7 (so two bodys with stabilization on camera body) It has a fast, responsive and always efficient af, Hard to miss a shot. Colors and chromatic aberrations contained (it does not seem better than the EF version ...) Compared to the ef brother it has a higher price, (always L series we are talking about) But a weight and a much smaller footprint. Personally I preferred the EF f/2.8 models with variable zoom inside the barrel, which did not push, it is still a 70-200mm The hood is obscene and bulky, then the white color .... All in all it is a good optics, although on the photographic side I do not find big differences with the EF model. I believe that its purchase is recommended and justified to those who have an Rf kit and would like to add a medium canvas, I do not recommend it instead to those who still own the EF model, it would be a meaningless expense, if not for a speech of weight and size.

Pros: Sharpness, Microcontrast and Color Rendering. Compact, easy to handle. Hard to miss a shot with the AF set.

Cons: Not compatible with any extender. External zoom (really obnoxious) Hood of very bad quality. (The window for filters opens continuously, never stands still). Back cover not comfortable. Lens material more plastic to the touch than EF. (It also gets dirty much more)

Opinion: What can I say, excellent lens definitely. With its pros and cons mentioned above. Coupled with the R5 it has a crazy stabilization. Hard to miss a shot with AF. Compact definitely but I do not like the external zoom. The zoom ring is also much less fluid than the EF. Recommended? Yes! But eye that is really delicate despite the tropicalization.

Pros: Excellent yield, microcontrast, backlight resistance, fast, precise, compact in the bag

Cons: it extends externally, in case of mud, dust etc you carry everything inside. RF CONNECTION PLUGS are shameful

Opinion: Operationally speaking, the RF connection caps in optical changes are disgusting, they lose precious seconds in the impossibility of being inserted quickly, they close only through collimation that is poorly marked and requires eye contact, The EF closed without having to look at them. Bad, very bad. The optics are very compact at rest, but it extends to 200mm, well, but not very well, in case of mud, water and dust you do not work in "comfort zone", at the end of the day drying salts (many) and more frequent revisions. Compared to the EF model it does not give the feeling of "immortality". File rendering: Nothing that has not already been said. It does the job
