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 paperweight.

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 days outside of the standard one year warranty. It has suffered no damage or drops, just the normal wear and tear of my use wore something out and caused it to fail. My previous 70-200 EF lens lasted over 8 years with no issues at all. So I am very disappointed in the longevity of this lens for the price tag. Otherwise the performance of the lens is great, you just need to match your lens settings and camera settings to the subjects you are capturing, and you will be a happy camper! However, i would really suggest investing in the carepak plus to cover function of the lens past the standard warranty.

???? 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.

The new Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 is a game changer.

I reluctantly made the move to mirrorless and bought an adapter/converter so I could use my EF lenses on my new Canon R8. I was satisfied but not super impressed. I knew I had to go full on into mirrorless and get an RF lens. I chose the 70-200 mm f 2.8 and I must say I've never been more impressed with a lens. Not only is the lens super sharp and crisp in the images it captures, I've never seen a lens focus so quickly. The difference was noticeable from the first click. To date, this is the best lens I have ever shot with and used for portraits, sports including weddings indoors and out. It truly is a game changer.

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.

Just do it!

I "upgraded" from the EF version of this lens, which I was originally using on my 5DMIV. When I stepped into the EOS R5, I was using the EF version with the control ring adapter. I sold the EF version to get the RF version and it has been a great decision. The lens is smaller and lighter, the build quality is great, and most importantly, the image results are fantastic! I use mine mainly for business headshots. This lens on the EOS R5 is an awesome combination.

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. The focal length range is perfect for portraits, wildlife, and sports photography. The aperture range of f/2.8 allows for great low-light performance and beautiful depth of field. The telescoping design of the lens makes it compact and easy to carry around. Overall, I highly recommend the Canon RF 70-200mm lens to anyone looking for a high-quality telephoto zoom lens. It's an amazing lens that delivers exceptional results every time

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 the lens. Came close to dropping it once so I discontinued using the tripod collar unless I need to put it on a tripod.

No Replacement Parts and Poor Customer Support

I bought this lens 18 months ago. The IQ is excellent and I like that it is compact. I have no complaints regarding the lens itself. What is extremely disappointing is that when I needed to put on the tripod collar after 18 months of handholding the lens, I found it did not fit and would not lock into place. Since it was no longer under warranty I could not send it back to the company. BUT, what is worse is that Canon does make, stock and sell this replacement part (Ring E WIII) and the customer service department claims it is not listed on the "box contents" and that it does not ship with the lens (even though I pointed out that it appears on all of the pictures). So, beware that the tripod collar does NOT officially ship with the lens, that it MAY not fit, and you may NOT be able to get a Canon replacement if it does not.

Where No Lens Has Gone Before

After capturing thousands of great sports photos over several years, my EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS stopped focusing properly right in the middle of the championship round of an NCAA Regional wrestling tournament I was covering. But what could have been a horror story instead had a happy ending. My RF 24-105mm f4 L had enough reach to capture the rest of the tournament, thanks in part to my EOS R6's lowlight performance. And repairing the 70-200 took only a few days from the time I shipped it until Canon had it back on my porch. The turnaround was quick enough that I had the lens back in time for my next assignment. I credit that to my Canon Professional Services membership, which also saved me literally hundreds of dollars on the repair. But my favorite part of this story is that this incident gave me an excuse to buy an RF70-200mm f2.8 L for my EOS R5 and R6 bodies. I was very happy with the adapted EF lens' sharpness, and focusing speed and accuracy, and would've been content to keep it awhile. Had the EF not crapped out, I wouldn't have known what I was missing. What was that? An even better performing lens in virtually every way, according to my unscientific assessment. The RF's focusing is faster and more accurate, and it produces more keepers than the EF. It's images are consistently sharper and brighter than those captured by the EF, at least to my eyes. After reviewing the first few hundred shots captured with the RF, my wife, who has her own EF 70-200, agreed. Finally, I've fallen head-over-heals in love with the RF's form factor. It is slightly chubbier than the EF, which hasn't been a detriment in the least. But even if I minded the girth, I'd gladly accept it knowing that the RF is inches shorter than the EF when both lenses are set to 70mm. The difference is dramatic when you're shoehorning an EF 70-200 attached to a body into a camera bag. Paraphrasing Capt. James T. Kirk, the RF 70-200 goes where no EF 70-200 has gone. I wholly, totally, and unequivocally love this lens. Since I shoot a lot of ice hockey rink-side and typically press the lens hood of my 70-200 against the glass to reduce reflections, I wish the RF barrel didn't expand and contract as it zooms in and out. But the lens feels so good in the hand, handles so well, and comes with such a sturdy lens hood that I've hardly been bothered by the expansion/contraction. It's actually a very small price to pay for a very small lens that delivers big results on every other level.

FEATURED REVIEWS

My favorite lens of all time.

By EOSDOM

I was a prime-lens only shooter before buying my first telephoto. After the initial hurdle of learning how to shoot with such a large lens I fell in love. The image quality is out of this world. Focus is instant and silent. I feel like I can shoot anything beautifully with this lens. Can't recommend it enough.

Finally in focus

By michellemarie

I am obsessed with this lens! It solves all the focusing issues I was having with the non mirrorless canon 24-70 lens. I am using it withe the R5 body.

Coupled with a large f/2.8 maximum aperture for sharp, bright images and videos, even in low-light settings, Canon's Nano USM technology for fast and virtually silent AF and up to 5 stops of shake correction, the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM will quickly become a favorite among portrait, wedding, wildlife and sports photographers.
