    Sharpest Lens I’ve Ever Used

    This lens is hands down the sharpest Canon lens I have ever used. I would have given it 5 stars but I have two minor complaints, the first being the new plastic shell Canon is using is more prone to marring and I was caught off guard by how large and heavy this lens actually is.

    Yes, this lens is an expensive, it is big, it is heavy BUT: It is worth the cost, the size and the weight. The pictures are unbelievable. I’m not sure what Canon has done with this lens, there are a lot of elements, and I would think there would be significant light loss through them, but there is not. Also, I’ve read that the sensor in the EOS R is the same one as the 5D mark IV. yet the images I get on the EOS R with the native RF lens are much sharper, with more detail, better colors, etc than I get on the 5D Mark IV.For years I have taken pictures. I’ve let my subject judge if the picture was good or not. With this lens I’m changing gears. I’m taking into account the gestalt of the entire photo. The bokeh is smother than any other lens I have used. The subject just pops out of the photo and the background can now be used to enhance the entire photo.This lens has set a new standard in image quality and resolving power. It seems that Canon has gone back to basic physics and they are taking advantage of the close proximity between the lens and the sensor.

    This is a versatile lens & a must have in my photography kit.It is big and sort of heavy but very manageable. Honestly to me, the heaviness and thickness of this lens just screams good quality and that’s what you get.Amazing sharpness and beautiful outcomes. So happy!

    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

    The one thing I dislike about this lens is the weight: however, it was not enough to discourage me from writing this review: The image quality is superb, and the fact that I can replace a bunch of lenses and still keep an F2 constant aperture makes it worth while. If you are on the fence about this lens, I suggest you rent it and see for yourselves. Its definitely a keeper for me.

    Solid build, fast lens,
