What's your favorite lens??

Thanks for the video. I own the EF version of 70-200mm f/4L IS. I’m a hobbyist outdoor photographer. F4 is good enough for me for not only being cheaper but also lighter. The EF versions do not extend while zooming as it does so internally. I use it for street, wildlife and landscape photography purposes with both FF and APS-C DSLR bodies. It's also compatible with converters. A gem of a lens.

Definitely agree with most of your points! One of my favourite lenses for photography. Haven't really used it much for video - maybe something to try out. I love shooting landscapes with it, as you said, you can get some really interesting perspectives. It's awesome for pets too btw 🐶

Really love this lens a lot, personally my main lens until I get an 85 1.2

I am still confused about the full/2.5 to infinity setting. So ...is FULL for close up’s & the latter for anything further than 2.5m’s away?

I have the f/4. To me, I thought similar things to what you laid out... but it resulted in me going for the f/4 instead. I'm just not in love with f/2.8 zooms. For the times when I need the versatility of a zoom (I do event photo/video in pretty fast paced dynamic environments) the size/weight of the f/4s is just way more valuable than the increased stop of light on the 2.8 (and in the case of the 24-105, the increased range over the 24-70 2.8.. although now there's the 24-105 2.8, which I shot with and solves the range problem.. but increases the size/weight/cost gap to a ridiculous degree). Add in the fact that, at least on the RF zooms, there isn't a huge jump in image quality from the f/4 to the 2.8.. it just not worth it to me. When I *do* want to prioritize image quality, that's when I go for a prime. If you only ever plan on shooting zooms, then the 2.8 kit makes sense.. but if you're like me and use zooms/primes situationally, then the 2.8 zooms are really the worst of both worlds.

What’s your trick to balancing this in the rs3 I can’t get enough of back balance on the gimbal to make it work.

I wouldn't say you are sacrificing the quality and at 100- 200 2.8 you will get plenty of background separation.

I think my tamron ef lens is a better lens than the rf do to the internal focusing of the tamron

Love my dude.

I understand that some people think the lens is heavy. If you’re used to shooting with an EF 70-200 with the adapter, the RF will be nothing compared to that

probably the best lens

It’s very slow to change zoom compared to an internal zoom lens. But it’s still a superb lens. I have the 100-300 2.8 and it’s significantly better. But it’s a beast.

What's the tripod and fluid head at 10:40?

huge 、 heavy、expensive ，OK THATS MY PROBLEM

I heard that the next 70-200 will be F2

Or try the MFT equivalent. Olympus F2.8 40-150 F2.8. Canon wins by weight 3.2lbs verus 2.0 lbs. It has a DOF advantage perhaps. Olympus wins every other category speed, sharpness range.

Way too big and $$. The EF versions do almost as good for way less. I swear to god Canon and their RF mount is alienating their user base. My favourite lens is my EF 70-200 f4 and the nifty fifty.
