Pull the trigger!
on April 21, 2025
Posted by: MorleyD
I was on the fence for some time but finally decided to pull the trigger, and I am so glad I did. This lens is incredible....I use this with my R5. I am not a pro. I love photography and my kids both play college sports (my daughter plays volleyball and my son is a pitcher). I have become the team photographer by default. I also love nature photography.....ok, with that said, let's talk about this lens. It is fast! GREAT focus and ULTRA sharp. My images are so clean, and 2.8 makes it great....I'm sure you have read multiple reviews, as I did. One thing they did not mention is that the ability to zoom in and out quickly, steadily and with one finger allows me to catch some really great action shots. It didn't take much practice to get this down, but it made a HUGE difference in being able to move the camera from pitcher to outfield to 1st bast, etc. I can shoot in electronic shutter and get just the right shot. Paired with the 2x converter, I have pretty much all I need...and the ability to shoot at 400mm at 5.6 is really great. The images are spectacular and the bokeh is great. Image stabilization seemed unnecessary to me until I put the 2x....what a difference! The only realistic negative (cost is a negative, but now that I have used it for a couple of months, it was worth it!) is the weight, especially with the 2x. Between the camera, grip, etc., this gets heavy, especially when we have double headers. Get a good monopod and your life will get much better (and your arm will thank you). I can easily say this is the best lens I have ever purchased. It is so good that I'm strongly considering the 24-70 Z (maybe next year). This lens has taken me to the next level. It is a game changer!
I would recommend this to a friend!

New to this lens, but love the internal focusing. Lots of experience with the older EF70-200 lens, so a bit of an adjustment to learn new positions for focus and zoom rings. Seems to integrate well with the R5M2.

Fantastic Upgrade to a Great Lens

Finally upgraded from the EF 70-200 F2.8 L MII to the RF Z version and what a difference. Super sharp, super quiet, super fast, lighter, and the collar rotation is super smooth. Subject tracking and switching focus from one subject to another is much faster. Well worth the price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This was my first 70-200mm lens. And it’s definitely worth it. Used it for the first time during the Bank of America Chicago Shamrock Shuffle. And because of the new improvements on this lens. Might keep rate was by far greater than many other lenses in my arsenal. Even at the start of the race, when the lighting was low. The majority of my pictures were keepers. The hardest part now, is picking the best of.
