That's why I said "affordable" as I've got it secondhand, it was less than 1/4th the price of a new RF 70-200 f4. For the price I've got, a whining IS is the least of its problem.

In many situations, you don't need the IS, so you can always turn it off.  This will help with battery life too, which is not great on the RP.  Another trick is to limit the time the camera remains on, then the lens goes quiet sooner!  And yes, it's a very good lens.  if you find the AF slow, do use the focus limiter, this speeds it up a bit.
