Re: A very mixed experience with the RF 70-200 f2.8

Hi Bob,

I own both the EF and the RF version. I agree with the throw. But then again, it doesn't bother me at all. In my work (mostly fashion, advertising and company stuff) I can take my time.
About the AF I'm puzzled. On my R (and RP, which focusses the same) the RF seems quicker. Quick ànd very reliable may I add. The AF system in the R is not perfect but in my experience both EF and RF lenses perform reliable. I'm certain the EF isn't better. It will be very interesting to see how the lenses perform on a more proffessional body like tje rumoured R5.
