This lens is so so good. I use it almost 100% of the time at f2. This lens lives on my EOS R while I am on motion picture sets. It really substitutes three L primes (24, 35 and 50) and it is better optically (and with faster and more accurate AF) than any of those EF lenses wide open.
Here is the one big problem with this lens that nobody mentions. It has substantial focus breathing up close. This is a bummer because it does limit the amount of background blur you can get with that huge f/2 aperture. You can get pretty close with the lens but the focus breathing keeps the maximum magnification low at around .18x while the RF 24-70 gets .3x.
It just sucks that such an expensive lens isn't really hitting 70mm in a lot of portrait scenarios. I'm actually thinking about selling mine as much as I like it for the fast aperture and high image quality. It's huge and I feel that due to the weight and bulk and intimidation factor (I have had more than one customer mention that the lens is huge), it might not quite add up.
would you please post a photo to demonstrate what you noted in your post, if you have the lens? because this is the first time i hear about this issue you referred to.
I’ll have to think of a way to test this, not sure how.
thanks for the response, shawn, i went online to several different sites and watched videos about this issue, they were quite informative thanks again.
Video makes it easier to see than a photo for sure. I noticed the effect in use but I was recently using the old 28-80L and I noticed that 80mm is a LOT closer than I'm used to, turns out the 70mm setting is also closer than the 70mm on the RF 28-70.
The old 28-70mm f/2.8 also has less focus breathing in my limited testing.
and the video suggested that it doesn't make any difference in static photos, which makes sense based on demonstration!
It does make a difference to me as I noted. It's *not* 70mm, how can that not make a difference?
if you take a stunning photo, who cares what FL that is? i wouldn't be able to tell
