Customer Ratings & Reviews

The lens is absolutely amazing. I have it on my camera body more than my RF 28-70. It’s light, compact, sharp, and looks great. Gave me an extra space in my bag now that I can place it standing up. Only downfall is the lens tripod support gets in the way when zooming in and the turn of the zoom is a lot more than the old EF version. Definitely recommend it, but had a bad experience with Best Buy and their shipping. Absolutely horrible... showed up in a box twice it’s size with very very little cushion. The lens box had to have been flying around inside during transport. Disappointed

Wow, this lens is incredible (despite the cost)! Took this to the zoo and was able to take amazing photos. I'm not a professional, but am a huge hobbyist photographer and I've been enjoying using this lens.

My whole time favorite lens. Being a wedding photographer, glass is always important. The 70-200mm is my all time favorite lens. After making the switch to mirrorless I used my 70-200 EF for awhile, but the size and weight of it made me take the leap for the rf version. Being shorter and lighter than the ef version i am super glad i made the switch. Its not a cheap upgrade, but i am sure happy i made it.

Shockingly epensive, but absolutely worth it. I was reluctant to spend so much on one lens, even with a holiday discount, but I'm so glad I did. I've been using it about a month and I think it's my favorite lens purchase ever! I didn't think I'd like the extending barrel, but it's great. Saves space in the bag and locks in place if I choose. Comes with tripod collar but haven't really needed it, even in low light. Very impressive sharpness, as sharp as any prime I've tried. I had extremely high expectations when I ordered this lens, and I looked for a reason to not keep it. I can honestly say I couldn't find one! I've used the older EF 70-200 2.8s and I really liked them, but the RF blows them all away. All I can say is, get one if you can. If it stands the test of time like Canon's L line usually does, it's a worthwhile investment and lots of fun!

Crystal clear pictures using this new R70-200mm. Much lighter than the EOS version.

Amazing lens, capturing incredible moments and saving them in a quality image.

This is an awesome lens. I came from Nikon, tried this lens with my new R5, just amazing. I took this on my cruise trip to the Bahamas, onboard the ship every professional photographer was interested to know which lens this is and how small it is for a 70-200 range (mostly they have seen and used the EF version). It's every photographer's dream lens to own. Every photo that I have captured is crisp, sharp and the AF works flawlessly.

Best telephoto lens in Canon RF Series. It is sharp, compact and light.

This is the best lens I have used in a very long time ! Smallest , lightest, and sharpest

I was hesitant to buy this lens because it costs so much, but have been nothing but pleased with it. It is quick, it is crystal clear, and it has opened up all sorts of creative possibilities that I never was never even expecting. This lens stays on my camera about 2/3s of the time ever since I picked it up. I am more than happy with this lens, and I hope to have it for years to come.

My nunber 1 go to lens. Beautiful bokeh. Sharp images.

a lot smaller and lighter than ef version! super Sharpe

Having owned Canon, Nikon, and Sony’s 70-200 f2.8 variants, I’m quite satisfied that this sets a new standard to beat. It not only has great color and sharpness, but you can now fit it mounted to the body in a smaller bag. Smaller size means you’re going to want to take it with you. Some folks have reported a focus issue at Max zoom at MFD, but Canon already has a firmware fix in the works. This lens is a keeper.

You can’t beat the smaller size of this F2.8 lens! Yes, it has some weight to it over the F4 version and the F4 version is also smaller in size. However, if you find yourself needing a F2.8 lens as a travel or carry around lens… this is the lens that fits the bill.

Great Lens, definitely worth the prices and has saved me several times already. It can take up a little space in your bag when carrying it around but the size is the best its ever been from the previous models over the years. The lens is light weight and easily one of the best lenses I currently own.

Canon products are always high quality. I've come over from Nikon, which also has high quality gear. This RF 70-200 lens is the perfect complement to the R5. It's not as large as the EF version due to the fact that it does extend on zoom, not enclosed, but that really helps with the portability of the lens. One of the reasons many people enjoy mirrorless is to get rid of some of the size and weight. While you can't cheat quality glass, you can think outside the box to see what can be done to accommodate less weight. Canon accomplished this with the 70-200 2.8 RF glass. High quality, excellent performance and a smaller package without sacrificing image quality. Well done, Canon.

Listen to me. This lens is worth every penny if you are a professional. The sharpness, autofocus, and build is top of the line. Oh thank the Lord! This lens is light and wonderful. My wedding season didn't start yet so I don't have any sample images for you guys.

This is a great lens! I purchased it for night football games under the lights. The wider aperture works great at full zoom with the lighting conditions.

The Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L lens is an awesome lens. I have used it mostly for portraiture so far, but plan to use it for some sports also. It is sharp, fast and so much lighter than my EF version. I ordered it online and received it in a timely manner.

Upgraded to the RF version to pair with a R5 camera. Very happy with the new version. Much lighter than the EF version and got to reuse the filters as the EF version was the same size. Images are very sharp and am happy with the upgrade.
