This is the RF bot EF.
can’t believe anybody would have size/weight issue with RF version!
i looked at the specs, you got a point. It's more than a pound lighter than my EF 70-200/2.8 L IS and that is without the EF-RF adapter. I wonder if I should trade my EF 70-200/2.8, 300/2.8 L IS and 135/2 L all for one RF 70-200/2.8 L IS? I still would need a black sleeve for this lens as it cries out----'hey dude, where is your press pass?' from stadium security.
The (RF) 70-200 f/2.8 is simply a joy to use now. It’ll provide basically the same images as the EFiii, but won’t replace your primes (for instance I’m keeping my Siggy 135 f/1.8).
Depends on your uses though. For me it is the third leg of my zoom trinity for events/sports (along with the RF 15-35/2.8 and RF 28-70/2). I also like using the 70-200 for fashion shoots (more flexible than the 135). The 135 is awesome for portraits tho.
Like I said, depends on usage.
Best of luck with your decisions guys!

Thanks but I'll stand pat for now. I love my 135/2 to part with it. It's awesome for sports even with the 1.4X II TC. I'm sure it will be even more fantastic with the R6MKII. And its also my fave focal length for headshots.
Moreover, I doubt if I can get much for my 300 and 70-200 lenses so I might as well keep them for bird photography and the occasional cultural event for the latter.
Sounds like a good plan!
I'll always keep a 135 handy too (been thinking about that new RF modelĀ ).
BTW the R6ii with the new AF controls is just awesome!
