Yes. From memory, it's about 12ft/ 4m. So not great for close portraits at 70mm or so FL. Otherwise, it's a wonderful lens...also not too big or heavy. Excellent resolution/ sharpness, contrast and colour.

The MFD is 4ft (1.2 m) - quite short IMHO.

Well, when you're accustomed to the nimbleness of 55-250 STM, which has an MFD of 0.85m and magnification of 0.29x, 70-200F4LIS's 1.2m MFD /0.21x magnification feels positively Jurassic. One of the few complaints I have about the lens.
