RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens
Product details
Web ID: 18162133Monopod 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,compact, agile picture taking lens
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
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.
