The 70-200mm f/2.8 is a workhorse lens for a wide variety of photographers in many genres, providing a versatile range of useful focal lengths paired with a wide maximum aperture. This great video review takes a look at the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens and if it continues the tradition of excellence established by its DSLR predecessor.
Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this fantastic video review takes a look at the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. Canon's EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens went through three iterations and was easily one of the most popular choices in the company's large library, as it provided fast and reliable performance in a rugged package, all paired with excellent image quality. I was so fond of mine that I still use it adapted on my Sony cameras. The RF version continues in that tradition with a few added changes, including optical improvements, Canon's Control Ring feature, and an impressively compact design. Altogether, it looks like a worthy successor to the EF version and one that is sure to be a desirable option for lots of photographers. Check out the video above for Laing's full thoughts.
I'm glad they changed the ring order. Sometime, I like to hold my lens on a branch or wall to capture birds and need to stay static for a while. I'm pre focusing, but with the "old" order, moving slightly the camera will make the focus ring rotate. This new way allows my finger to stay closer to the body and do all with one hand in this kind of non prepare situation when I can't have a tripod.
A timely review, thanks. If you've bought into the Canon R system then this lens should last you your lifetime.
So what. MILCs are not still image cameras, they are video cameras with a frame capture ability. Using a mirrorless camera is not actual photography: you never see the image yourself to make a creative decision. You are only shown a video facsimile of actual reality, delayed in time.
I do not care how much this market expands, and I don't care how popular it is: it's not photography.
