Reviewer score 87% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM is a pro zoom that exploits the benefits of both mirrorless and modern optical design to deliver a truly unique proposition. It essentially matches the optical quality of the superb EF 70-300mm Mark III, but with a barrel that’s two thirds the weight. Event shooters will greatly appreciate the benefit of a noticeably lighter lens, plus the shorter barrel allows it to stand up for transportation in many bags rather than lying down. Canon also improved the image stabilisation, delivered better closeups, quietened the motors and thrown-in a cylindrical white lens hood with a filter window.
Pros
- Excellent image stabilisation
- Lightweight and compact
- Improved optics
Cons
- Brakeh blobs
- No filter window
