I purchased the Rf70-200 in April of 2023 and it's a great lens. Fast, Sharp, Accurate, and a joy to use. I will keep this simple and just show you some basic photos that were shot with the Canon L series lens. NO filters & NO Editing were used on the following photos. Photos provided were shot in the lowest .jpeg format for R5 MK II camera.

A very nice lens. It's zoom range is very good for travel when you can't bring all of your lenses. It is my second L series and they are excellent glass for my R8. The bundle fro Adorama is very helpful to have as you will get a UV filter that you can put on immediately to protect the lens. And I always have a cleaning kit in every case.

Al principio estaba un poco escéptica pero la verdad la imagen es nítida. Pensé que sería más lento pero no! No podía comprar el de 2.8 porque es muy caro. La verdad me encanta!! A tomar fotos se ha dicho! At first I was skeptical, but the image is actually sharp. I thought it would be slower, but no! I couldn't afford the 2.8mm one because it's too expensive. I really love it! Let's take pictures!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

The Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens is a superb telephoto zoom lens that delivers exceptional image quality and versatility. With its compact and lightweight design, it's perfect for travel and outdoor photography. The lens's optical image stabilization ensures sharpness, while the fast and accurate autofocus enables capturing action with ease. A reliable choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike, while be lighter and more affordable than the 2.8 version.

Great all around lens for portrait, landscape, and keeping up with the grandkids! Very sharp focus as expected, and lightweight for a 70-200mm L 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

Having the 70-200 EF F2 to this I will never look back even at f4 is amazing and most important of all I can use the camera with one hand
MANUEL C.
2021-10-20T20:00:00
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.

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 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.

Amazing, simply amazing lens
By EVaughan
Just got my lens today and went out and shot bunch of different subjects on my R5 and all All I can say is Amazing lens! Canon really out did themselves with this one. 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. Center, sides, corners are so Good! So small and light which is also excellent, fits in camera bag so much easier. The only Con I can say is that the IS isn't n...

RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM
The RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM is a telephoto zoom lens delivering impressive image quality along with superb mobility as our shortest and lightest 70-200mm f/4 lens to date. Designed for the EOS R System, this lens takes advantage of the large diameter mount and short back focus distance of the RF mount to maintain high image quality while being more compact and portable so you'll be even more inclined to take it with you on your travels.
Results are stunning thanks to 4 UD lenses which help correct chromatic aberration and keep colors vivid, reduced ghosting provided by Air-Sphere Coating (ASC), and Optical Image Stabilization plus coordinated Optical Image Stabilizer and In-Body Image Stabilizer for amazingly clear, crisp images at slow shutter speeds and smooth video footage. There are also dual Nano USMs contributing to a short minimum focusing distance and high-speed autofocus for still shooting and near-silent, smooth autofocus during movie shooting.
These features and more, combined with the confidence to shoot in almost any condition with dust- and weather resistant seals and fluorine coating, make the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lens a solid performer for any situation.
Canon's Shortest and Lightest 70-200mm f/4 Interchangeable Zoom Lens
Convenience is a major consideration when shooting, and the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lens is our most compact and lightest 70-200mm f/4 lens, making it even more appealing to use for your photo and video opportunities. As a more portable 70-200mm option than our EF version, this new RF lens is easier to fit into a messenger bag as well as a camera backpack vertically so it's always on-hand and ready to go.
High Image Quality and Bright, Constant f/4 Aperture Telephoto Zoom RF L Lens
The EF 70-200mm F4 lenses provided impressive picture quality and that superb reputation has carried over and has been improved with this RF version. With L series optics and a 9 blade circular aperture for creative bokeh, this is an excellent telephoto complement to the RF24-105mm F4 L IS USM and will provide you with impressive results, even when shooting in low light situations.
Optical Image Stabilizer with up to 5 Stops of Shake Correction
Because RF lenses are designed specifically for the RF Mount found on EOS R series cameras, the lens and camera combine to share shooting data, helping to dramatically reduce the effect of camera shake that can occur when using handheld. This applies when capturing both stills and video with up to 5 stops of stabilization for accurate and clear content.
Up to 7.5 stops of Shake Correction with Coordinated Optical Image Stabilizer and In-Body Image Stabilizer
When combined with an EOS R series camera equipped with In-Body Image Stabilizer, the lens' Optical Image Stabilizer teams up with the In-Body Image Stabilizer to provide coordinated IS up to 7.5 stops, further helping to alleviate shaking for photos and video, and adjusting the ratio from optical to in-body stabilization automatically throughout the zoom range so you have the best of both worlds.
High Speed, Smooth and Quiet Auto Focus with Dual Nano USM
Like some of its predecessors such as the RF70-200mm F2.8L IS USM and RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1L IS USM lenses, the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM is equipped with dual independent Nano USMs to help achieve high-speed and focus accuracy at any focal length or throughout its travel, and its focusing range. This helps you quickly focus and keep up with fast-moving subjects and also provides smooth and silent autofocus while shooting movies, so there is relatively no disturbance for you, the subject or in what you see visually and hear audibly during shooting and playback.
Minimum Focusing Distance of 1.97 ft. and Maximum Magnification of 0.28x
While the EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM counterpart lets you shoot at a minimum focusing distance of approx. 3.3 ft., the dual independent Nano USMs found in the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lets you get even closer, up to 1.97 ft. from the subject at full zoom range and at a maximum magnification of 0.28x (at 200mm), so you can get highly detailed, highly impressive images even at close range with a telephoto zoom lens.
Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes
Standard on all RF lenses, the control ring on the lens barrel enables you to adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and more. Located towards the front of the lens and effectively adding a third dial to the EOS R and EOS RP, and a fourth dial for EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras, the control ring has a tactile, easily distinguished surface and features a clicking mechanism that provides tangible feedback for confident use while looking through the viewfinder. For photographers and moviemakers who would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed by a Canon service provider for a fee.
12-Pin Communication System
Designed to quickly process data, the 12-pin communication system inherent in all RF lenses helps accelerates AF, Image Stabilization, the Digital Lens Optimizer and more, helping to simplify complex operations and provide a quick and reliable user experience.
Dust - and Weather-resistant
Feel confident shooting in almost any weather condition, from rain to snow, thanks to dust- and weather-resistant construction in the lens mount, switch panel, lens barrel extension and all rings. Sealing is applied to lens joining sections, and switch panels to help prevent water and dust from entering into the lens.
Fluorine Coating
The RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lens features fluorine coatings on the front and rearmost surfaces to help prevent water and oil from sticking to the lens, making it easy to clean off smudges and fingerprints.
Four UD Elements and Air-Sphere Coating (ASC)
Clear, high-quality images are produced with the help of four low refractive and ultra-low dispersion lenses, providing significant chromatic aberration correction through the entire zoom range. In addition, the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lens features our Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which helps to reduce the occurrence of lens flare and ghosting. This helps provide clean results with minimal distractions and aberrations.
