  • Heavy, but amazing.
This guy replaces a whole spectrum of primes. Yes, it’s heavy but worth it. Focus and image quality is sharp at every focal length. Amazing.

  • Heavy on the wallet and back but the images are incredible!
I've only had it out for a day but I can already see this lens being a regular on my R5 and R6 bodies. The lens is heavy, no doubt about it, but the IQ is insane and well worth it. It is very fast focusing and produces beautiful colors. The images I posted as examples are on a low light day in a forest, the exception being my girls out in the open once we finished. This tank feels great in the hand while shooting and it has to give me at least a full stop of additional stabilization due to the weight. Great lens, absolutely amazing IQ, I just wish it was a bit cheaper, lol. If you can afford this lens and will use it, do not hesitate for a second, it is the best feeling lens that I've ever been out shooting with to date. ... show more

  • Love this lens!
This lens is so worth the price. I am normally a prime lens person but dang this zoom lens is all that and a bag of potato chips. I love using it for pretty much any portrait sessions but especially family sessions and weddings. It's great it low light, low noise, creamy bokeh when desired, and is tack sharp. The only downfall is that it's pretty heavy but not enough for me to not want to use it! ... show more

  • Must have for low light shooters...
This lens is like the Thor’s hammer of lenses. I purchased it to shoot events and to harness the full strength and might of f/2.0 and I wasn’t disappointed. Due to the thickness of the barrel the lens is able to allow more light into the lens at lower iso wide open and faster shutter speed. I shoot Mainly nightclub events so the lens was a dream to use. No image stabilization? Whatever... I can shoot at 1/60 shutter speed at 320+ easy and still Capture ambient light in the background at certain venues on my brand new r6 which has ibis with no motion blur. I have zero regrets about the price because now I have about 5 primes lenses in the form of one zoom lens. The only trade off is the weight which is around 3lbs but it’s ok. I haven’t been to the gym in a while so this is my new fitness regimen and will get lighter for me as I get used to it. After the first night I used it my pectoralis majors are sore AF from lifting up my camera for crowd shots paired with a custom bracket rotating camera bracket and a 600rt which puts my rig at around a whopping 5-7lbs with my adapted ef70-200 strapped to my waist. I shot the event for 3 hrs and I’ve done at least 60 reps of overhead lifts, around 80 squats to shoot certain people at eye level due to me being 6’2”. A few women who I photographed were twerking dropping down low to the ground caused me to have to shoot at that vantage point causing me to have to execute maneuvers that would equate to about 30 upright burpees and I loved every single minute of it. My glutes really took a beating as well. Overall I’m impressed with the cameras ability to pull off 90% accuracy at f/2 in low to almost no light. It would’ve been 100%if I didn’t use eye af due to it sometimes locking onto faces and more contrasty areas in the background but that’s a user error and something I will be able to improve as I use the camera more using expanded cross points af. The Focus motors seem pretty fast as well and have never been able to capture so efficiently in my 12 years of shooting. This lens body combo is by far the greatest rig I’ve used to date. Mirrorless technology is the future of the photography industry and it’s still at the beginning stages. I can’t imagine it getting any better after a another generation of R bodies and RF lenses but it will and I’m excited and scared at the same time. If you can afford it... buy it. You will not regret ... show more

  • Worth it!
Incredible lens to pair with a canon mirrorless camera. It has some bulk to it, so be ready for the extra weight.
