Another Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review. The Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS has to be an amazing lens, given that all reviewers are so positive.
Brendan van Son went to Canyon de Chelly in Northern Arizona to see how the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L “feels, works, and how the images look from out in the field”. Enjoy.

A Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review by our favorite reviewer. Seems to be another great lens for the EOS R system, and not an inexpensive one.
Dustin Abbott posted his exhaustive Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS review. As usual the review comes with plenty of sample images, test charts, and answers all the questions you might have about this amazing lens. From the conclusion:
Canon was taking an innovative approach to the lens design. I love the 70-200mm F2.8 concept, but I haven’t always loved the bulky package it comes in. The RF 70-200L traveled with me far more often during my review because of the more compact, flexible form factor, and that means it got used more often. I used it for video, for stills, and for tracking action. I took it to church, and on hikes, and to portrait sessions. There is a real value to be had in that, and I applaud Canon taking a chance and reimagining this lens.
I love the look and feel of images from the lens and loved using it. The stabilization is excellent, the autofocus is exceptional, and the weight and balance of the lens made it easy to use on my Canon EOS R5.
[…] this is what I would call an indispensable lens for a working professional or hard-core amateur, so sometimes you just have to have that little cry, bite the bullet, and lay down the money. Read the review at Dustin Abbott’s site

Another Canon patent dealing with lenses for the RF mount, i.e. for Canon’s full frame mirrorless system EOS R.
Canon patent application 2020-181071 (Japan) discusses optical formulas for an RF 50mm F1.4 and an RF 35mm f/1.4 lens. This patent application is particularly interesting since 50mm f/1.4 and 35mm f/1.4 are two very classic lenses for a full frame system.
The patent application seems to reveal a modern and complex optical design with front and rear lenses for optical correction. Moreover, we think it has internal focusing, a small size and a very fast auto-focus. Another two lenses that might go into production.
| Example 1 | Example 2 | Example 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focal length | 51.50 | 48.47 | 48.49 |
| F value | 1.45 | 1.45 | 1.85 |
| Half angle of view | 22.79 | 24.05 | 24.04 |
| Image height | 21.64 | 21.64 | 21.64 |
| full length | 95.19 | 108.84 | 91.98 |
| BF | 11.49 | 11.39 | 11.48 |
| Example 4 | Example 5 | ||
| Focal length | 48.49 | 33.99 | |
| F value | 1.45 | 1.45 | |
| Half angle of view | 24.04 | 32.48 | |

And yet another Canon patent for a lens for the EOS R full frame mirrorless camera system,
Canon patent application 2020-181169A (Japan) discusses optical formulas for an RF 80mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 lens.
Interesting lens I have to say. Let’s hope it goes into production.
