    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Love, way lighter than my EF version. Super sharp. Only downside to me is where the zoom ring is. I’ve gotta get used to it.

    Came from a EF 70-200 2.8 IS II, and was expecting this lens to be better...it is not. The motors are loud and are picked up in audio, the extending lens makes me doubt weather resistance and makes tripod balancing a headache.

    such an awesome lens (sharp yet buttery bokeh) with its compact body. I love how it works with EOS R. The EOS R body has not unlocked the lens' full potential. I'm looking forward to buy the next generations of RF mount bodies to work with this lens

    I love this lens! I use it mostly for concert photography my my Canon R6 Mark ii and my R5. It is fantastic and crystal clear. It focuses with ease and I just can’t stop raving about it. I also have the Canon RF 28-70 f2 and this one is such a great addition to my gear. I anticipate using just as much, and if not more than my other lens.

    Consider the Newer Z Version

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This 70-200 2.8 is not my favorite! Because of the external zoom, the throw from 70-200 is incredibly long and you have to crank your arm ridiculously far to zoom in or out. As a professional wedding photographer it's not awful but I couldn't imagine doing something with fast moving objects such as sports photography with this slow lens. Canon's newer Z series solved with problem with a longer lens that is internal. It may be listed as a heavier lens but the weight distribution makes it feel much light and easier in the hands. The Z series also is compatible with the 1.4 and 2.0 Canon extenders if desired AND the new Power Zoom! I highly recommend the Z but if you don't care about the new features, this 70-200 is beautiful and pretty sharp. The IS makes it nice for hand held video. While it's not listed as a macro-lens, the zoom allows you to get some pretty beautiful nature or detail photos.

    Excellent lens.5 stop IS is a big plus for picture taking and video.The 2.8 Aperture gives a nice backround blur and the pictures are incredibly sharp.
