Monopod Shooters Beware
Purchased this lens prior to the new version coming out. The tripod ring pops off the lens if any force is put on the tripod ring. Horrible if you mostly shoot with a monopod. I've had this lens fall off MULTIPLE times due to this crucial design flaw. Canon needs to have a tripod ring that locks in place - not one held by tension. Now, I just have an expensive paperw...

Beautiful glass
Absolutely amazing. This lens makes all of my pictures look crisp even on an entry level camera like my r100. Biting the bullet when this was on sale was such a good idea. The only reason I could see someone not buying this would be the price tag 🤷♂️.

Longevity is dissapointing.
This is my second 70-200 2.8 lens from canon, I purchased this RF for my new camera 11/30/2023. Used at over 90 professional shoots through the year (mostly fast-paced live theatre performance), then suddenly on 12/11/2024 the zoom ring felt sticky and jammed a few minutes later. It is being fixed, thankfully, because I purchased CarePak Plus. Otherwise, it is a few da...

👍🏼 great,compact, agile picture taking lens
Great lens, great pictures, I like that the lens extends when you zoom compared to the internal zoom type lens type, that helps with the space the lens takes in my backpack. Its a very quick, agile shooting lens. I have it paired with my R5C

Amazing
Amazing lens. Fast focusing, sharp images. Paired with my R5, it’s a phenomenal combo. I’ve never owned a 70-200 2.8, only the EF 70-200 f4 IS so I was on the fence between the 2.8 vs the f4, and so happy I got the f/2.8. I hands down recommend the faster lens.

Crisp and cleat
This lens combined with the R6 Mark ii changes my photographic experience by reducing my stress and increasing my confidence in my ability to capture the image I see in my mind. The images are crisp and the crops are clear.

My Holy Grail Lens
I recently purchased the Canon RF 70-200mm lens and I am blown away by its performance. The lens is incredibly sharp and produces stunning bokeh. The image stabilization is top-notch and the autofocus is fast and accurate. The build quality is excellent and the lens feels solid in my hands.

A couple of little annoyances
Having used similar EF lenses I was somewhat perturbed when I discovered that the zoom and focus rings were switched. This is taking some getting used to. Also I usually use the tripod collar to support such lenses in my hand but to do so I need to keep it a little loose so that I can switch to vertical and back. By keeping it loose, it has a tendency to detach from th...

Great lens
Great lens, no regrets it does everything I had hoped for and more coupled with the amazing auto focus on the R6 I can’t hardly miss a shot.

Worth the Upgrade
It took me at least 6 months to fully adjust to the new focusing style, but it's an amazing lens and a great upgrade. With this new firmware update, it's even better. There is less vignetting and abberation with this new glass. I appreciate how small it can go to fit in my bag now.

I used the EF model with a succession of camera bodies and moved to the series II which was even better. The 1.4 Extender was the icing on the cake. extending my reach when photographing my favorite subjects, Alaska's large and dangerous wild animals.
