I bought a RF 70-200 2.8 IS a few weeks ago, and have had some strange, intermittent AF issues. It's not at MFD and I did update the firmware to the latest, but I still need to test more to confirm if it's the lens, the R5, or the operator.
My question for now is if anyone who has bought the lens in the past few months could share the first two digits of your RF 70-200 serial (you can also PM me)? I purchased mine from a very large retailer, who I thought would sell through their inventory and re-stock fairly often, but my serial indicates that the lens was produced about 9 months ago. That makes me wonder if it was a faulty return that accidentally slipped back into circulation, or if it really has been just sitting in the warehouse for over half a year.
