Canon - RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for EOS R-Series Cameras - White

Immediately noticed the lens’ compact size and lighter weight. This will be my travel lens as my 2.8 gets left behind. Already owned EF 2.8 L version that will still be used with extenders. Image quality is excellent and focus fast and sharp.

This was my first "L" lens for the Canon EOS R. I've been wanting a telephoto lens with a little bit of reach and settled on this 70-200mm RF lens. I decided to go with the RF because I feel as if the RF mount is the future in the Canon line. This is the f/4 so not as fast, but it is a constant aperture through the entire focal length. I usually use this in bright/daylight conditions, but let me tell you, this lens is super sharp, the colors are great, and lightweight. It balances well on the camera body. I know a few people complain about the lens being external zoom, but it doesn't sway my decision. I've taken pictures with this lens in windy beach conditions with sand flying in my face, through dusty, smoky, and foggy conditions, and this lens has held up well. It is water/weather resistant, and have taken it to the lake and the dog park with muddy water splashed on it, and still looks good as new. I would suggest picking up this lens if you have an RF mount, looking for a medium telephoto with the 70-200mm focal length, don't care about having fast aperture, want a sharp lens, and want to save some money compared to the f/2.8. You can save some more money getting a used EF mount version, but I think the RF is definitely worth the money. Pictures below.

Sharpness, fast focus, silent, compact and quality built are the hallmarks of this lens. It is about half a price than that its brighter 2.8 counter part, but for the price this lens is awesome. The bokeh on shallow depth of field focus is very pleasing to the eyes. As an avid photographer, the price of this lens is a tough bill for me to swallow, but the joy of using and seeing the pictures that this lens produces have won me over. It surely worth it to me.

The canon rf 70-200mm f4 is definitely one of the best lenses you can get for your camera, its small but still it packs amazing images quality it’s very sharp and the autofocus it’s super fast. Definitely a lens I would recommend for anyone who wants amazing quality without having to break the bank.

Got this lens to shoot longer distances for an event on short notice and was worried about the aperture but it did NOT disappoint! The sharpness offered is amazing and the focusing is really quick to my surprise. I thought the aperture was going to be a problem for me knowing the f2.8 model exists but it does a great job with the depth at higher focal ranges. For the value and opportunity over spending double this amount for the next step up I feel has a lot of potential to still be put to use really well and the build quality feels great while staying truly compact for its capability
