There hasn’t been a lot of discussions on the RF 28-70 lately with all the new stuff from Canon surfacing.
About a year ago I went to my local camera store and tested the RF-28-70. One of the reasons I didn’t buy it was for the size and weight compared to my EF 24-70 2.8L ii. (of course price was a consideration also)
Well, I am back to the RF 28-70 consideration again. I don’t think I want to keep the 24-70 if I purchase the 28-70.
Has anyone that bought the RF 28-70 and had the EF 24-70 2.8L ii keep them both? Any regrets either not keeping them both if you sold the 24-70 and are you happy with the RF 28-70?
The 28-70 is incomparable.
For its list price of $3100, it's saved me from buying $9,450 worth of fast prime lenses (Canon MSRP).
- RF 85mm f/1.2 (non-DS, although I'd probably buy the DS, +$300)
- RF 50mm f/1.2
- EF 35mm f/1.4 II
- EF 28mm f/1.4 (Sigma)
- EF 24mm f/1.4 II
Plus it saves me another $2400 if I were to add in the RF 24-70 f/2.8L (which I'd also need alongside those primes).
We can say you have the 24-70 2.8 "inside the 28-70 f2 (except the 24-28mm range), but the 28-70 is NOT equal to all these lenses. We can't say this at all. But the 28-70 is more versatile of course

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?
