Amazing lens, the quality is outstanding. Yes it's a little weighty, but definitely worth it.

F2 sharpness worth the weight and control tradeoffs

Confirming what has already been said elsewhere. I'm using this lens paired with a R1 for mostly indoor sports photography (low-angle, under-the-net basketball shots). Lens is somewhat heavy, but not unexpected. Mass of lens doesn't throw off the center of balance significantly when paired with R1. Lens isn't overly heavy-- actively holding and zooming the lens for hours isn't a problem. For zooming, one would prefer the focus and zoom rings positions be swapped; however, the configuration is sufficient as is. Also, one would want to adjust the resistance on the zoom ring; however, the single built-in resistance is a decent balance between rapid and fine adjustments. The F2 is a world of difference between F2.8 and F4, particularly given the poor and high-contrast lighting conditions where I mostly use the lens.

DO NOT BUY THIS LENS

I bought 2 of these lens. I have sent them back to Canon 5 times now because the lens coating has come off both of them . I have been charged $605 for each repair for the exact same issue occurring over and over. DO NOT BUY THIS LENS. I am a professional photographer and I have plenty of lenses from Canon and they have all been phenomenal but this one is HORRIBLE! DO NOT BUY!

Incredible lens, but impractical.

I applaud Canon for making this wild lens - I've never seen a normal zoom with an f/2 and the output has a prime quality in terms of subject isolation. Excellent color and sharpness for a zoom, though not quite prime level. The weight and sheer mass of this lens, however, negates its utility as a normal zoom for walk-around. It's difficult and awkward to hand hold due to the width and the front element is positively monstrous. The weight is very unbalanced on an R5, which has far too small a grip and form factor. As with a telephoto, you are primarily holding the lens and the body is secondary. I still love that Canon makes these outrageous lenses that no one else will make. For those who don't really care about size/weight - this is a great option.

Fatal flaw: horrible ergonomics for handholding

Fatal flaw with this lens is the zoom ring is so narrow and set back so it's very hard to handhold and zoom. Ergonomically it's awful to handhold given the weight. Incredibly smooth bokeh and image quality. However, given the size and weight of this lens, I wish they would make more compromises in IQ to achieve a lighter, more versatile 2.0 zoom.

Amazing lens

I did a lot of looking and researching before I purchase this lens and it has far exceeded my expectations when everyone tells you it's large and heavy they're not exaggerating, but it has taken my indoor volleyball pictures to a new level.

Just Great.

Love the look of the images. Paired with an R5 I often get images that look more like film. Great focal range for people, cityscape, mountains landscapes. I do a lot of night photography as well and night cityscape and astro both work well with this. The clarity brings out stars you didn't realize were there.

THE BEST ZOOM LENS for RF cameras.

We have this lens at work and i LOVE it! can't wait to get one for myself and my own business. The picture quality is superb and grabs the faces clearly while leaving the background soft and muted. It's lovely - and surprisingly, much better than the 24-70 - the proportions of faces and bodies are always more complimentary. Only draw back is that it s Heavy - so be prepared, but worth carrying the extra weight; and sometimes we'd like the full 24 width of frame. C'mon canon - give us a 24-70 2.0! or better yet - 24-200 2.0!!! That would be the dream lens for sure.

f/2 throughout zoom 28mm-70mm

Great performance lens. Tack sharp from wide angle to med telephoto at f/2! Somewhat worth the expense since it's equivalent to four different lens in one. It is heavy and would need a harness for longer periods of shooting.

Great lens! Meets the expectations from all of the hyped reviews.

I LOVE this lens! Coming from the EF system 24-70, I purchased this to pair with my new R5. It is a bit heavier than I expected, but so far has proven to be tack sharp and incredibly fast! Very happy with this lens and looking forward to using it more!

I wasn?t sure if I should keep this lens after suffering terrible back ache after the first long shoot day at a friend?s party in London, but the capability and the images are so fantastic that I thought I will get used using the lens. It?s my best tool so far. Excellent quality
