Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM Review

The Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM is a compact zoom with quick focus and exquisite optics. Pros may still want a F2.8 zoom, but this is more than enough lens for most photographers. The Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM ($1,599) is, at its heart, a more affordable version of the RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM, a top-end lens that sells for $2,700. It's just as well made, and takes up less room in your camera bag thanks to a retractable design. It doesn't gather as much light, so you'll still want to pay for an F2.8 lens if you work in dim light or cover events. For the rest of us, the RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM is a fantastic performer that pairs perfectly with pro and enthusiast Canon R cameras, and an Editors' Choice award winner.Telescoping Barrel Like the RF 70-200mm F2.8, the F4 edition features a retractable design. It's in contrast to 70-200mm lenses for SLRs and other mirrorless systems, which almost exclusively use internal zoom. It makes the lens as small as a typical 24-70mm when retracted, about 4.7 by 3.3 inches (HD). The F4 lens is a little smaller all around than the RF 70-200mm F2.8, and lighter—1.5 pounds versus 2.6 pounds. The lighter build means yo...
Pros:
  • Light, compact telezoom
  • Excellent resolution
  • Dust, splash, and fluorine protection
  • Quick, quiet autofocus
  • Optical stabilization works with IBIS
  • On-lens controls
Cons:
  • Gather less light than an F2.8 lens
  • Shows some focus breathing
  • Divisive telescoping design

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens - BRAND NEW review

Offering a similar level of performance to the much more expensive RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM lens, the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM represents a wise choice for photographers who don’t need the one-stop advantage the f/2.8L lens provides as well as those looking for a more portable lens for hand-held...

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens - BRAND NEW review

The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens was a game-changer, and the Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM Lens is the same, taking the game down to a new size and weight low. Those carrying this frequently-needed telephoto zoom lens for extended periods will love this lens's new size and weight.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens - BRAND NEW review

With the RF 70-200mm f4L, Canon’s once again shown how a new lens can match or exceed the performance of a popular classic while adding something different - in this case a much more compact design, at least when set to 70mm.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens - BRAND NEW review

Some years ago I bought the 70-200L 2.8MkII lens and found it to be an amazing lens, but the one thing about it was that it is a bit of a howtzer. I loved using it but the weight broke the cardinal rule that the best lens is the one you are carrying.

Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM Lens - Brand New review

Our verdict on the Canon RF 24-105mm F/4? We want this lens in our camera bag when we finally have the money to invest in the R/RF system. In fact, it'll probably be the first lens we'll buy, and not only because you can get it as a kit lens for both the EOS R and EOS RP bodies.
