Light Weight and Amazing Image Quality

Image quality is amazing, very smooth, and lighter weight than expected!!! I love the focal range, and the ease of use! It also has a lock that is nice so you don't accidentally have it retract out unexpectantly!

Perfect for my hiking and backcountry lens. Love the size.

Love the smaller size and lighter weight. Perfect compliment for my bag and very crisp photos. After considering the 2.8 vs the 4, I went with the cheaper, smaller and lighter F4 and love my choice and the lens. It usually stays on the camera when not hiking and I can get some nice bird shots around the house or sunrises when I go to the beach. I liked the idea of saving $900 and also feel the quality is amazing for the price. Purchased at Best Buy and waited for a sale to get it at a fair price. Recommend this lens for those on a budget or looking to carry it while traveling/hiking.

Fabulous light weight L lens

I have had this lens for 6 months - and it is wonderful Especially because of its weight. It produces superbly sharp pictures - which I have come to expect of L lenses.

Great lens for the price and performance!

The Canon 70-200mm f/4L IS USM is a fantastic, versitile lens for the pro-sumer market for those that cannot affort the f/2.8. Lightweight and and tack sharp, this lens should be a staple in anyone's kit.

Wish they had this lens in a 24-240mm range!

Light! Super Sharp. Fast. However, I will be returning it. My main purpose for a zoom lens is for traveling and hiking. Unfortunately, the 70mm is not the most convenient in tight spaces or nature trails. When I travel I just take with me one prime lens and one zoom lens. I really wish they had this starting at 24mm or even 35mm! The fact the is dust and weather resistant a beast like this should be available starting with at least 24mm as in my opinion would be the ultimate travel lens. Canon I can't be the only person out there with this wish!

FAVORITE PEOPLE AND STREET LENS

I love the compact size and light weight. Zoom action is buttery smooth. Image quality is superb. It's my favorite new lens for people and street photography on the R6 body.

Great performer, love the small size.

Cannot believe the compact size of this lens. In fact, this lens was one of the main factors for me in switching to mirrorless. I do a lot of commercial action sports photography, so I'm often hiking or biking to remote locations with all my gear on my back. The weight savings of this lens and my R5 compared to my 5d or 1x bodies plus the EF 70-200 is truly a game changer. I opted for the f/4 over the f/2.8 because it's even smaller and with the high ISO performance of the R cameras, it's been a fine trade off for the stop of light.

Great lens!

really happy with this lens. Much lighter than my f/2.8 but just as sharp (if not more) and was surprised how close the minimum focus distance is. I can focus on my own hand for light testing purposes (which was definitely not the case with my previous 70-200). Shot in low light and handheld at 1/30th to test the image stabilization - it was really impressive!

Light weight and sharp

I am very pleased with the RF 70-200 f/4L IS USM lens. I needed this zoom range but did not need the speed of the f/2.8. Very sharp and the image stabilization pairs well with my R6.

Great sharp lens

This lens is quite light, well-balanced, and a joy to use. Pictures are worth more than words: this shot of a red-bellied woodpecker on my backyard feeder was taken handheld with an EOS R5, f4.5, ISO 500, and 1/1000, through a glass slider. Enough said.

Great bundle.

This is a great bundle at no additional cost; therefore, I couldn?t pass it up. The lens itself is great, compact and lightweight. The picture I took of the moon was at 200mm, iso 100, -3ev, f4.5, 1/125s and it is immensely cropped while still keeping some detail( granted, I had to make some adjustments when transferring the RAW image to iPhone).

Sharp and Clean Files

The combination of the R6 and this lens is one of the best I have owned. The pictures are sharp and clean without being crispy. And they are sharp from corner to corner.

Great Lens

Very nice lens, wish it had the tripod collar, and also the sliding window on the lens hood to adjust filters, but other than that, it's a great, lightweight, sharp lens and $1000 less than the f2.8 (which I rarely used)

A 70-200 I actually bring in my bag

A 70-200 I actually carry with me. Was hesitant to go with f/4 after coming from a 2.8 on a dslr but the 2.8 RF was unavailable (and way too pricey for me). This f/4 is very sharp and a great performer thus far. Very impressed with the results with such a small package.

At the expense of not having an f/2.8 or wider aperture, this lens somehow still shines. It is crazy sharp and the autofocus is very quick.

I thought my RF 24-105 f/4L and RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L were great, which they are. But this lens is one sharpest lenses I have ever used in my 20 years of photography.

How does the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens redefine telephoto zoom photography This lens stands out as a paragon of optical excellence and portability within the Canon lineup, offering an unrivaled combination of high-quality imaging and lightweight design. As the most compact and lightest 70-200mm f/4 lens Canon has crafted to date, it's a quintessential travel companion for photographers using the EOS R System. The lens's design leverages the expansive diameter and short back focus of the RF mount, ensuring superior image quality without the bulk.

Capture stunning, vivid images with the lens's four UD elements, adept at correcting chromatic aberration and maintaining color fidelity. The advanced Air-Sphere Coating (ASC) minimizes ghosting, ensuring your photos are clear and free from distracting artifacts. With the Optical Image Stabilization system, you can enjoy up to 5 stops of shake correction, producing sharp images even at slower shutter speeds. When paired with an EOS R series camera featuring In-Body Image Stabilization, this synergy amplifies the shake correction to an impressive 7.5 stops, providing unparalleled stability across the zoom range.

Autofocus performance is both swift and silent, thanks to the dual Nano USMs, making it ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects or filming movies without intrusive noise. The RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens boasts a minimum focusing distance of just 1.97 ft and a maximum magnification of 0.28x, allowing for exquisite detail in close-up shots.

The lens's intuitive control ring offers tactile feedback and allows for direct adjustments to settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation, enhancing the user experience. For those seeking a quieter operation, the control ring's clicking mechanism can be deactivated by a Canon service provider.

The lens's 12-pin communication system ensures rapid data processing, enhancing AF, Image Stabilization, and more for a seamless shooting experience. Built to withstand challenging environments, the lens features robust dust- and weather-resistant construction, with fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements to repel water and oil, simplifying maintenance.

This bundle enhances the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens's capabilities even further. It includes a Flex Lens Shade to prevent unwanted light and lens flare, a 77mm Filter Kit to protect and enhance your images, a Cleaning Kit for lens maintenance, a Lens Wrap for additional protection, Lens Cleaner to keep your optics spotless, a Lens Cap Tether to secure your lens cap, and a PC Software Kit to expand your post-processing toolkit.

In summary, the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens bundle is an exceptional choice for photographers seeking a professional-grade telephoto zoom lens that promises both performance and portability, ensuring that you're equipped to capture life's moments with clarity and precision, wherever your journey takes you.
