Pros: Definition, bokeh, focusing distance, responsiveness, stabilization.
Cons: Size, especially length and, first of all, the price.
Opinion: I come from the "short" version, given in exchange for this one and I will try to highlight, in particular, the differences, although this is a first evaluation, always susceptible to ongoing updates. Let's start with the dimensions: the weight is only 40 grams exceeding the other version, while, as already known, the length is about 20 cm, if it had been less it would certainly have been better, but, probably, it is the counterpart of the non-extensibility. The optical scheme is more complex and refined than the other 70-200, thanks to the presence of a few more optical elements, but I must say that a further increase in incisiveness, understood as resolution, is perceptible. The colors are excellent, which seem to me to veer slightly towards warm tones. At the top of the quality level are stabilization, operating speed (given by the 2 nano-usm motors) and silence, while the phenomenon of breathing focus is almost completely absent, it is no coincidence that we are talking about a hybrid lens, designed for videos, as well as for photographic use. Important and significant is the reduction of the minimum focusing distance, which allows close-up shots, not previously possible, with the possibility of isolating the framed subject more from the background (among other things, I benefited from it in the first test photos, such as the one I published below). One of the most appreciable qualities is the soft and "pasty" nature of the blur, thanks to the 11-blade diaphragm. In fact, the transition of the planes is gradual and "gentle", returning a very pleasant bokeh: the detachment, more than consistent, is never brutal. Which one to choose between the two lenses? If portability is the sine qua non, certainly the first version, which, not surprisingly, remains in the price list. If you want a "little more", compared to the already excellent performance of the other, perhaps winking more often also at the use in the video field, certainly this new RF 70-200 f/2.8 L IS USM Z. The most sore point, which Canon should absolutely improve, is the price! |
