Pros:Sharpness, sublime blur, lightning-fast AF, fantastic weight and portability.
Cons:What are the cons?
Opinion:I bought it these days to match it with my second camera body Canon Eos r6 Mark II. It needs no comment.... simply a show. I don't know how there can be people complaining about the quality of the images or anything. I will not dwell on repeating all the merits that have been widely described and that can be read in the other numerous comments. With this lens there are no excuses that hold.... Probably, perhaps, the problem lies not in the lens but in who works behind the camera. It is absurd not to be able to churn out images of the highest quality, with this goodness of God. The only detail in which I find something to complain about, concerns the slight bulk of the bracket for attaching to the tripod. But that's really nonsense.
Pros:portability and weight, full-aperture sharpness, quality blur, stabilization, lightning-fast AF
Cons:the high price like all Rf L lenses
Opinion:I have never had the opportunity to try the previous 70-200 EF 2.8 and so I can not make a comparison with them but I can say that this new lens is a jewel and allows you to replace a whole series of fixed in an excellent way: 85mm f1.8 or the new rf 85mm f2 + 100mm f2 + 135 L f2 + 200mm L f2.8. It has a very low weight for a 2.8 and a portability from "closed" that easily fits in any photographic backpack; Only the hood is in my opinion a bit bulky and could be replaced with that of the 50mm F1.2 which is always 77mm. The sharpness is excellent already at 2.8 and in particular at 200mm the blur is from fixed optics of the highest level. The stabilizer then does the rest and makes it usable even in low light conditions, the AF is lightning fast. If you do not have higher brightness needs (eg 85mm f1.2 or 135mm f1.8 or 200mm f2) it is the lens for you.
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.
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.
