Canon RF70-200mm F4 L is USM Lens, Telephoto Zoom Lens, Compatible with EOS R Series Mirrorless Cameras, White

This is an amazing zoom lens. I use it for travel, landscape and nature photography. Since it’s a versatile lens, it’s also great for portraiture. This has become one of my favorite lenses as it’s compact, sharp and focuses fast using AF and manual modes. It’s also perfect for isolating your subject. I’ve attached some photos. All of these were taken handheld without a flash or filter, and were taken at different times of the day - morning, afternoon and evening as well as indoor and outdoor.Cons: I really can’t think of any. Perhaps the only thing would be is why I waited this long to purchase it - I guess I was waiting for more online reviews to come in. And oh, one more thing, the lens hood that came with it - wish it has a little sliding window so you can rotate and adjust the filter while using it. I didn’t knock a star from the rating since I’m reviewing the lens and not the hood.

This was a gift for my daughter. It’s an amazing lens it functions perfect the images are perfect. The feel for the images. Incredible.

Got mine on June 17, 2023, and took it out for a spin with my R6 Mark II the next day. Whoa ! I'm impressed, it's everything that Canon said it would be. Light, Compact, High Image Quality and Bright Contrast, High Speed, Smooth and Quiet Auto Focus, with dual nano usm. I took it to the beach to try it out and got some great shots. I'm so glad that I bought it. It was a hard decision between the F4 L and the F2.8 L. I decided on the F4 L because it is lighter more compact not to mention the $$$ saved. The shots I took are crisp and very sharp. The Bokeh is beautiful and no vignetting. It's a great companion for my RF 24-105 f4 L IS USM as its just as compact and light. I love the new RF lenses and you'll fall in love with them too. I added a couple of wildlife shots that I took. Now, I need to learn how to really use this Lense to it's full potential. (The pics were taken with the lense right out of the box to test it..)

Hard to write a review on any Canon lens. I’ve been using their professional products for about 30 years. Are they expensive? Yes they are. But like a lot of things in life, you get what you pay for. This lens is exceptionally sharp, color and contrast are in keeping with Canon’s gold standard. Not really anything else I can say, other than it’s perfect for my use as a working photojournalist.

Nice lens. As I did with my older EF mount 70-200mm F4, I saved a few bucks getting the RF mount F4 over the F2.8, and I have no regrets. As long as you have good light, you're good to go!

Some day this lens may have dust sucked into it because of the nature of it's design, but for now it's clean inside and because it shrinks down, it fits in my compact camera bag. If this lens was any larger I probably wouldn't take anywhere. It autofocuses super quickly and is tack sharp. It's my only RF L lens at the moment and it's definitely my favorite next to the RF 50mm 1.8 STM. 200mm on the Canon R6 is enough reach for most situations, there are times when I wish I could reach out to 250 or 300mm to really get in close on wild life since I don't have the extra resolution on my camera. The coatings on the lens appear to help with flare a lot, the image of the plant touching the sunset is a good example of this. F/4 gives enough separation for most situations if the subject is close enough. I'm sure F/2.8 would have been amazing looking, but it was far too expensive and it would have been too large for my bag. The R6 looks pretty amazing with the lens on it, makes it look very professional. I recently found out the lens is white (ish) to help with reflecting heat off the lens and that Canon is always working to perfect this color, I always thought it was just because it looked cool.

Love the white color, good compromise in reach. Sometimes I miss the wide angle reach of my 24 to 105 f4 lens. It's a hassle to change lenses. I like to shoot shoot shoot!

Very sharp even though f4…. I have 2.8!lens and have to stop them down to get as SHARP as this lens
