Canon was quite clever.

And I wouldn't be without it. I am an event Photographer who likes to take pictures of runners with a record of where they were running rather than, "oh look it's me running towards the camera". The quality is magnificent. Prior to using Canon I had a range of prime lenses for the quality. After the reviews of this lens I decided to buy it as a prime lens from 28 to 70 mm, and it is better than expected. I am a pixel peeper on one level because I demand quality in my work (don't always get it) but it's speed of focus attached to the EOS R3 is 2nd to none, and it's quality of image is beautiful. It breaks all the rules about if it's an F2 .8 lens then its best image comes it F5 .6 or whatever, without question the best quality I get, not with standing runners coming at me on both shoulders every half second, Its f2.0 is better than anything I have ever used.

This a non-obvious FL option and I bet the design team had some difficulty pushing the idea to the "powers that be", at Canon.

But it was a great gamble, an unique lens with an unique character.

As far as I am concerned, the 28-70 his one of the main reasons why I am enjoying the R system so much.
