Why?
Normally I refused to have "the holy trinity". I want to be different, having more options and to be able to break the barriers of the gold standard of this industry. That's why I have Zeiss lenses which not everybody has and why I love to shoot with f1.4 glass - or even faster.
The R-mount changed the game. The RF holy trinity is quite compact and has features no other system is offering today:
Meanwhile my trinity is complete - and I am pretty happy...
The Canon EOS R with the 70-200 mm on the left and the 15-35mm on the right.....
This is the maximum performance I can carry inside of my business backpack... including a flash and a transmitter, battery charger, spare battery remote release....
I wrote a complete review about the lense Here.
Verdict: Stellar Performer
I never wanted the holy trinity. But even the EF 70-200 showed the limitation of the 20 year old 200mm lens... Especially the pop and the crispness of the lens...
So the RF 70-200 is a lens which comes with lot of potential for amazing shots. Especially the color rendition and the contrast is mind-blowing. The sharpness over the complex image circle is stunning. The OIS is delivering much more than I expected - and we can only wait until Canon comes out with in body stabilization.
The zoom lenses will not replace the really fast lenses... especially the f1.2 - f1.4 ones.... But its versatility is just great.
I bet: the combo of this performance of OIS and Canon´s engineering skills will become the new benchmark.
I cannot wait to take this lens into the wild to deliver more stunning images.... and they will come...

The R-mount changed the game. The RF holy trinity is quite compact and has features no other system is offering today:
- the ultra wide 15-35mm is the first ultra wide zoom in f2.8 with optical image stabilization (OIS) (Tamron has OIS, but it is 15-3mm)
- the standard 24-70mm is the first lens with OIS from a camera manufacturer (Tamron has one, too)
- the 70-200 is by fare the most compact and lightest 70-200mm lens on the market.
