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.

I love this lens, 70-200 mm gives me a wide range to play with pair with canon m6 mark iii im able to zoom in and crop my photos with little to no effect to the quality

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

I recently purchased the RF 24-70mm F2.8 L series lens for my R6ii and have had such amazing results I wanted to add the 70-200mm. I went with the F4 because I don’t need the 2.8 and couldn’t justify the huge difference in price. The results are as sharp as the 24-70 F2.8. I can’t tell the difference between the two with shots taken at 70mm. It’s much lighter than I expected and I find myself using it more than thought I would.

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.

Incredibly compact and lightweight! Blazing fast autofocus and silent!! Absolutely love this lens on my EOS R6. I primarily use this lens for landscape and wildlife. This lens easily fits in my backpack mounted on the R6 and doesn’t weigh me down on long hikes. Such a superb choice over the EF counterpart with adapter. Don’t hesitate, buy it.

This was recommended to me by the store associate as I was looking at a different telephoto lens but ultimately bought this one. I love it. Slightly heavier but has amazing features that I love capturing action from further away.

Being a support mom this recommendation to get great shots of my son. I’m excited to have it and see what I can learn and capture of him doing what he loves to do. Expensive investment but plan to get my money worth.

It's a really good lens, my giving it 4 stars says more about me than the lens as I should've splurged for the F2.8L. This lens partners my 24-70mm F2.8L which pretty much has me covered for most photography situations.

It is soo good it makes a beginner look like a pro

Super small, super light, super sharp, great lens @ a great price!

Compact, light, quick focus & reasonably bright f4 aperture make a perfect travel lens ideal for landscape & portrait. I traded in a heavy Canon 100-400 ii telephoto lens for the RF 70-200 F4 & an very happy game did after a recent family vacation & during walks through the woods. It’s light & petite

The Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM is a fantastic telephoto zoom lens designed for EOS R-series cameras. It offers exceptional image quality, a compact and lightweight design. While F4 isn’t as fast as F2.8, it’s still a fantastic option for hobbyists who want a high-quality telephoto lens without the extra weight and cost of the F2.8 version.

Love this lens! I was able to get the last “blue moon”. But I use it mostly for my grandson’s baseball games. Fantastic!

Love the clear pictures it takes and zoom one of the best lens I own now!

I absolutely love this lense! I got a lot of good reviews from coworkers and decided to put the money towards it and I'm so happy I did! It's probably my most used lense now

This is now my go to lens, I was bummed because I couldn’t get the f2.8, but as soon as i used this lens, I fell in love. It is perfect for the dog sport photography I do!

Best zoom lens. Beautiful bokeh and very light. Travel friendly and event photographer must have
