I have the EF version and plan on keeping it for a long time, only reason I am not going for the RF version is because of external zoom and the thickness of the lens.
Using EF70-200mm f2.8 II USM with the adaptor, also I have RF 24-105mm f4 IS USM , but I will always prefer Internal zoom that scale.Thx for the video.
RF version is absolutely not weather sealed. Try it for yourself: shoot in the rain and retract the lens to 70mm. Then extend it - it's got water on it doesn't it? Wipe it off. Retract lens, and extend again. MORE WATER. There's water inside now! NOT weather sealed. The EF version is.
I went with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS III USM over the newer RF version because of the dramatic price difference. With taxes and shipping included the used EF lens was still half the price of just the RF lens before taxes and shipping. It isn't all a compromise either, since internal zoom is nice.
@@sexysilversurfer True...Also i thought a little more about it, maybe the use of teles with a 70-200 is less common these days with higher MP cameras as people may just crop instead.
I used the mkii 70-200 on my R6 ii. The adapter does add a littl weight and length, but its not the end of the world, when you consider the lens is still so good and can be bought for a very price used.
It sounds like you're discussing your experience using the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with your Canon R6 II camera. The RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens is known for its excellent performance, even when adapted to mirrorless cameras like the R6 II using an adapter. While the adapter may add some weight and length to the setup, it's reassuring to hear that it doesn't significantly detract from the overall experience, especially considering the exceptional quality of the lens. Additionally, buying the lens used can often offer great value, making it more accessible to photographers who may be on a budget. Despite any minor inconveniences with the adapter, the combination of the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens and the R6 II camera likely provides outstanding image quality and versatility for a variety of shooting scenarios.
Great review. Way better than some others who have way more subscribers than you. Probably upgrading to the EF iii (from i) just due to the price of the RF. I'll wait for the RF ii before upgrading to the RF i.
Ich setze ein 70-200 f/4 auch mit 1,4x und 2x an meiner 7D Mark II und EOS RP ein und bin mehr als zufrieden mit diesen Kombinationen. Selbst das f/4 macht Klasse Bilder!
Anyways!! Great video sir! The RF 2.8 is really a great one, unfortunately I don't have an EOS R camera. Btw, there's a new Sony Camera that was just released. The Sony A7sIII.. I'm not sure why but it's a full frame mirrorless camera. According to Sony or what I learned so far A7rIII - (2017) R "Resolution" Highest possible picture quality (better for pictures) A7III - (2018) I'm not sure yet, but many say that this is better than A7rIII. Maybe both in picture and video. A bit sharper and 4k resolution. A7sIII - (2020) S "Sensitivity" range and noise control (better for videos) What's in A7sIII: $3,500(US) = P150,000-180,000 (Philippines) 4k 120fps still with auto focus 1080 240fps still with auto focus 1st ever flip screen 1st ever user friendly settings No record limit and any record of overheating after a few minutes to an hour or use accdg to reviewers 10 bit color It's so good!! But it's too pricey vs the Canon line up. I think I invested in the Canon because the lenses are much cheaper than the Sony's. Would love to learn more on Sony and maybe they also have great cheaper lenses like the Canon's. Anyways! Really appreciate your dedication in filming! ^_^ Keep it up sir!
Ich bin mir unsicher. 2000€ für das ef oder 3000€ für das RF. Das EF kann man ja mit 2fach konverter verwenden und das RF nicht. Ein großer Punkt der das EF interessanter macht. Jetzt ist nur die Frage ob das EF ein kompromiss ist, wenn es um Autofokus und Bildqualität geht. Ansich hoffe ich auf ein 70200er, dass einen 2 Fach Konverter option anbietet. Das 100500er kann einen 2x verwenden. zwar nicht komplett im geringen brennweiten bereich aber schon.
Die RF Version ist ihr geld auf jeden Fall wert. Schau mal hier, falls du nach einem günstigen Telezoom schaust --> ruclips.net/video/SILAaQZ7xFM/видео.html
Ich habe seit September 2018 Canon 5 D Mark IV und EF 70 - 200 2,8 III . Fotografiere bei Veranstaltungen die Auftritte der Künstler. Bei Videoaufnahmen ist mir der Autofocus der EF Version zu langsam oder auch manchmal verliert er die Schärfe bei der Verfolgung der Bewegungen des Sängers . Werde im nächsten Jahr mir eine EOS R5 und das RF 70 - 200 2,8 kaufen. Damit wird das Filmen definitiv besser.
Thank for the link you gave me sir! Really appreciate it. Was just able to watch today. Slept last night. This 70-200 is really on my bucket list but really having a hard time between an F2.8ii (better low light, middle price) vs F4ii (better weight, lowest price) vs F2.8iii (better quality, highest price and heaviest). Not sure if f2.8 or f4. I have a Canon 200D(2nd hand), but want to also invest in a Canon 90D(2nd hand or brand new just for the 120fps) Really having a hard time deciding because or financial issues. :)

I have the EF version of the Tamron 70-200. I thought the picture quality was better than Canon EF when I purchased it. I don’t think it actually gets to 200 though. It’s also very heavy. After your video I’ll get the RF 70-200. TY. I’m not getting any younger.
Hi sir. I just bought Canon EF 70 200mm f2.8 III from Best Buy. But it only has 2 mode of image stabilizer, and when I turn on the stabilization, I feel vibration on my hand due to the motor. Is that normal? I feel like they use mark ii lens and put mark III on the lens name. Even the porch is black too it's seem very strange.
@@MyTameBird No worries. You can use EF lenses on a Canon mirrorless RF body (using an EF-RF coverter), but not the other way around (RF lens on an EF body)

I have the EF version and plan on keeping it for a long time, only reason I am not going for the RF version is because of external zoom and the thickness of the lens.
Indeed. The EF-version does a fantastic job. Whereas the Rf-version is pretty good for traveling. Daniel
Using EF70-200mm f2.8 II USM with the adaptor, also I have RF 24-105mm f4 IS USM , but I will always prefer Internal zoom that scale.Thx for the video.
hey there thanks for your feedback. All the best, Daniel
I went for the adapter with mk ii ef 70 200 2.8 over 24 105 f4 L, which one do you find yourself using more? I ask if I'm missing out on image Quality
RF version is absolutely not weather sealed. Try it for yourself: shoot in the rain and retract the lens to 70mm. Then extend it - it's got water on it doesn't it? Wipe it off. Retract lens, and extend again. MORE WATER. There's water inside now! NOT weather sealed. The EF version is.
Are you 100% sure? Why would Canon declare it as water proofed?
@@the_daniel_life No idea but it obviously isn't. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.
It might be possible that the water can reach that part of the lens, but not its inner guts where the glass and the electronics are, no?
The reason why i would still prefer my ef mark iii is that 100% weather sealed and accept extenders unlike rf.
I went with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS III USM over the newer RF version because of the dramatic price difference. With taxes and shipping included the used EF lens was still half the price of just the RF lens before taxes and shipping. It isn't all a compromise either, since internal zoom is nice.
I agree. I got it because of the compact design and form factor. Daniel
They should have kept internal zoom. That is the biggest selling point with the EF lens.
Well, I get along with it quite well. Since it fits much better into my camera bag than the EF-version. Daniel
But you can't use any tele converter with it, so it is severely limited for pro photographers.
Why can't ? Are there some construction limitation or just there are no teleconverters available on the market yet ?
@@petercarpowitz7007 this
I think that this part of the design. Why sell teleconverter when you can make people buy a whole new lens. More profits!
@@sexysilversurfer True...Also i thought a little more about it, maybe the use of teles with a 70-200 is less common these days with higher MP cameras as people may just crop instead.

Great review ! How would you compare 70-200 RF with for example prime Canon 85 1.8 ? Is it sharper or sharpness is comparable for f2.8 ?
I prefer in-body zoom, instead of „pop-out“ zoom. So the EF is the clear winner for me.
Hey there, thanks for sharing your feedback. I like to have a small version for my camera bag, so I decided to get the RF-Version instead. Daniel
