Good point. Nice to have options. I can't see Sigma selling this lens for anything less than the price it is listed at now. From past 70-200 F2.8 lenses from any maker, this is a relatively good price. I paid $1.100 for a Canon 70-200 F4 lens back in the day.This new RF 100-500mm is a great lens. It's ultrasharp at every setting, covers a great zoom range, focuses fast and focuses so close that you may no longer need a macro lens! It focuses to arm's length, even at 500mm, which lets this lens replace traditional 70-200mm lenses. I prefer this lens to 70-200 lenses because I never miss the range One disadvantage of this lens is that its filter size is 67mm and not 77mm like most of the L-series lenses, so I will have to buy an additional polarizing filter for it. Enough words for this post, here are a couple of photos I made using the Canon 70-200 f4 L lens, and as always comments and critiques are welcome! So if youre ok with the ef 24-70ii then the rf 70-200/2.8 should be fine. According to The Digital Picture, EF 24-70 f/2.8 II is 835g with lens hood, whereas the RF 70-200 f/2.8 is 1165g with lens hood (but without the tripod ring, which would add more weight). So the difference is 330g or 0.73 lbs.

The third party lenses in this range that you can be secure in purchasing would be the 70-210 Vivitar f3.5 series 1 with the 67mm filter size. the Tokina 80-200mm f2.8 AT-X (bigger and faster but very high quality image) The Kiron 70-210 f3.5 with the 67mm filter size (same lens as the Vivitar as Kiron made the Vivitar) There are a coupl ofThe small size factor is why I now carry a 70-200/f4 for my Canon 6D. Same focal length equiv and depth of focus as the apsc 2.8 and just as 'fast' considering the high ISO capabilities of the full-frame camera. 750g is great because it's balanced to the typically 600-800g weight of enthusiast bodies. On my EOS R5, autofocus is faster than my own eyes! Fulfilling the dream of mirrorless and quite different from Sony's big, fat and bloated 70-200/2.8 GM, this Canon RF 70-200/2.8 is much smaller and lighter than any other 70-200 f/2.8. It's about half the length of other 70-200/2.8s. It's the lightest 70-200/2.8 ever made and focuses super close. Product description.
