Re: Canon RF 28-70 F/2 L

From 50/1.2 to 2870/2.0 there are 1.5 stops of difference.

From 2870 to 2470/2.8 it is one f-stop difference.

For me the 1 stop difference doesn't justify the big size and reduced wide angel of the 2870 vs the 2470.

For my taste the 2870 is too big. In this range I shoot subjects/people where I want to get close and where I do not want to put a monster lens in their face.

Even the 2470/2.8 is a little big for my taste.

I wish Canon offered some high quality compact primes in the 1.4-1.8 range.
