Monopod Shooters Beware

Purchased this lens prior to the new version coming out. The tripod ring pops off the lens if any force is put on the tripod ring. Horrible if you mostly shoot with a monopod. I've had this lens fall off MULTIPLE times due to this crucial design flaw. Canon needs to have a tripod ring that locks in place - not one held by tension. Now, I just have an expensive paperweight.
Longevity is dissapointing.

This is my second 70-200 2.8 lens from canon, I purchased this RF for my new camera 11/30/2023. Used at over 90 professional shoots through the year (mostly fast-paced live theatre performance), then suddenly on 12/11/2024 the zoom ring felt sticky and jammed a few minutes later. It is being fixed, thankfully, because I purchased CarePak Plus. Otherwise, it is a few days outside of the standard one year warranty. It has suffered no damage or drops, just the normal wear and tear of my use wore something out and caused it to fail. My previous 70-200 EF lens lasted over 8 years with no issues at all. So I am very disappointed in the longevity of this lens for the price tag. Otherwise the performance of the lens is great, you just need to match your lens settings and camera settings to the subjects you are capturing, and you will be a happy camper! However, i would really suggest investing in the carepak plus to cover function of the lens past the standard warranty.

Great lens, great pictures, I like that the lens extends when you zoom compared to the internal zoom type lens type, that helps with the space the lens takes in my backpack. Its a very quick, agile shooting lens. I have it paired with my R5C

Amazing lens. Fast focusing, sharp images. Paired with my R5, it’s a phenomenal combo. I’ve never owned a 70-200 2.8, only the EF 70-200 f4 IS so I was on the fence between the 2.8 vs the f4, and so happy I got the f/2.8. I hands down recommend the faster lens.
Amazing Lens!!!

This lens combined with the R6 Mark ii changes my photographic experience by reducing my stress and increasing my confidence in my ability to capture the image I see in my mind. The images are crisp and the crops are clear.

I recently purchased the Canon RF 70-200mm lens and I am blown away by its performance. The lens is incredibly sharp and produces stunning bokeh. The image stabilization is top-notch and the autofocus is fast and accurate. The build quality is excellent and the lens feels solid in my hands. The focal length range is perfect for portraits, wildlife, and sports photography. The aperture range of f/2.8 allows for great low-light performance and beautiful depth of field. The telescoping design of the lens makes it compact and easy to carry around. Overall, I highly recommend the Canon RF 70-200mm lens to anyone looking for a high-quality telephoto zoom lens. It’s an amazing lens that delivers exceptional results every time

Having used similar EF lenses I was somewhat perturbed when I discovered that the zoom and focus rings were switched. This is taking some getting used to. Also I usually use the tripod collar to support such lenses in my hand but to do so I need to keep it a little loose so that I can switch to vertical and back. By keeping it loose, it has a tendency to detach from the lens. Came close to dropping it once so I discontinued using the tripod collar unless I need to put it on a tripod.

Great lens, no regrets it does everything I had hoped for and more coupled with the amazing auto focus on the R6 I can’t hardly miss a shot.

It took me at least 6 months to fully adjust to the new focusing style, but it's an amazing lens and a great upgrade. With this new firmware update, it's even better. There is less vignetting and abberation with this new glass. I appreciate how small it can go to fit in my bag now.

I used the EF model with a succession of camera bodies and moved to the series II which was even better. The 1.4 Extender was the icing on the cake. extending my reach when photographing my favorite subjects, Alaska's large and dangerous wild animals. Image my disappointment when I learned that the new extender and lens are incompatible! Please Canon, manufacture compatible extenders for this lens! I would like to continue to take photos like the ones included here, and the extender made them possible.

This lens is the latest version of the 'zoom lens family' I recommend when only one lens can be taken on photographic trip. I've taken the EF 70-200mm F2.8 L on multiple trips to Europe and the RF 70-200mm F2.8L is a further refinement of those capabilities at lower weight for mirrorless cameras. The RF 70-200mm F2.8 L further extends the low light capability, particularly in European cathedrals and museums where supplemental flash or tripods are not allowed. At the 70mm aperture it can be useful in inconspicuous street photography, especially when a slightly elevated shooting position such as a staircase or peak of a hill is available.
