Heavy, but amazing.
This guy replaces a whole spectrum of primes. Yes, itâs heavy but worth it. Focus and image quality is sharp at every focal length. Amazing.

Heavy on the wallet and back but the images are incredible!
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.

Love this lens!
This lens is so worth the price. I am normally a prime lens person but dang this zoom lens is all that and a bag of potato chips. I love using it for pretty much any portrait sessions but especially family sessions and weddings. It’s great it low light, low noise, creamy bokeh when desired, and is tack sharp. The only downfall is that it’s pretty heavy but not enough for me to not want to use it!

Worth it!
Incredible lens to pair with a canon mirrorless camera. It has some bulk to it, so be ready for the extra weight.
Albert Guevara –
Simply beautiful.
Sharp and fast!

Game changer!!
Oh my word. Where has this lens been all my life?! Haha but really. I’ve been a full time wedding and portrait photographer for 14 years now, I have always shot solely with prime fixed lenses. I was taught that once you add a zoom, you’ll lose some quality in your aperture (with the exception of massive prime lenses for wildlife and such). HOWEVER, I was wrong when it comes to this baby! Crazy sharp images, super fast focusing capabilities and you can stay at f2.0 from 28mm all the way to 70mm! GAME CHANGER. I can shoot an entire wedding without changing my lens now. The price is a lot, but if photography is your job….this lens is totally worth the investment and you won’t regret adding it to your arsenal of lenses….in fact you might find that purchasing it kinda diminishes your need for your 35mm and 50mm lenses.So flippin happy with this lens!

Amazing lens

Excelente objetivo si te dedicas a bodas, XV años o eventos sociales en general; tienes un objetivo con el que cubres un plano bastante amplio, desde fotos en grupo o espacios hasta retratos. La iluminación es LO MEJOR. Considerar que la lente pesa lo que el precio, por eso solo los que realmente le saquen provecho a sus cuerpos no les importará el peso, de hecho para grabar video handle es ideal.

Great lens! We use it on our main camera for video interviews and for headshots.

Es un lente muy grande y pesado, de 95 mm, pero si no te importa eso, me atrevo a decir que es uno de los mejores lentes que he usado, caro pero vale lo que pesa.

El lente llegó en tiempo y forma, en buenas condiciones pero faltó más protección de empacado para que el lente no estuviera moviéndose dentro de la caja durante el transporte.
