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.

I've owned many L lenses from Canon over the decades and this has got to be among the best of the best. First of all, the lens is very chonky, it's huge and heavy and that's the downside of it for many people. However, that the only downside for me about this lens. Everything else about it is a plus. The lens is fast, tack sharp and the sharpness doesnt fall off in the corners either. Being able to shoot at f2 from 28-70 is phenomenal, it can cover 28, 35, 50, and medium tele at 70 flawlessly. Looking at the resulting images, you probably think that it came from a prime lens. I wish this lens came with IS and i wish that it was a bit wider at 24mm, but that would probably add on more weight to this lens. I still love the lens and i always carry it with me. A great investment if youre doing professional work. If you have the budget for this lens as a hobbyist, it wont disappoint you either.

Favorite lens of all time and I have shot for over 30 years!! This lens can find light anywhere!!I have always shot primes until this lens. Its quality is stunning!

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.
