70-200mm lenses are highly versatile, and though f/2.8 is the professional standard, not everyone needs that wide aperture or wants to spend the money to carry around that sort of bulk. 70-200mm f/4 lenses offer the same focal length range at a more affordable price and in a more portable form, and this great video review takes a look at Canon's mirrorless version, the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM.
Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this excellent video review takes a look at the Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens. Even at $1,000 cheaper than the f/2.8 version, the RF 70-200mm f/4L lens still comes with a variety of useful features, including:
- Four Ultra-Low Dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations and increased clarity
- Air Sphere Coating for reduced flares and ghosting and increased contrast
- Image Stabilization with up to 5 stops of compensation or 7.5 stops in tandem with in-body image stabilization
- Dual Nano USM focusing system suitable for both photo and video work
- Customizable Control Ring
- Fluorine coating to resist fingerprints
- Dust- and moisture-resistant design
Altogether, the RF 70-200mm f/4L looks like a great alternative to the f/2.8 version for anyone who doesn't need the extra-wide aperture. Check out the video above for Laing's full thoughts on the lens.
