![]() ![]() The RF 70-200L is the telephoto member of the “trinity” of wide aperture, professional-grade zooms for Canon’s relatively new full frame mirrorless ecosystem built around the RF mount. That fact alone really makes the RF 70-200L (as I’ll refer to it for brevity in this review) attractive to me, personally. That leaves room for a second lens in the bag, extending my versatility even while traveling light. I’ve got an 8L Messenger Bag ( I reviewed it here), and, if I skip the lens hood, I’m able to carry it upright in that bag attached to my EOS R5. ![]() The tradeoff is that the RF 70-200mm is not internally zooming, so it does extend some when zooming, but I’m loving the tradeoff due to the unique portability I get from the lens. Canon has managed to give us the performance of their typical pro-grade 70-200mm F2.8L IS, but in a package that is nearly 30% lighter and shorter. I was fortunate enough to get to review one while I reviewed the new Canon EOS R5, and it proved an excellent match for that camera. There’s certainly been evidence of that, and one of the most intriguing applications has been Canon’s surprisingly compact RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM. Canon has promised us that the new RF mount has created the potential for a lot of new lens innovation and development. ![]()
