Same... mostly. The fact that you can't use an extender on the RF version kept me from buying it for a LONG time. And I get that some people don't like the placement of the rings, especially coming from the EF version. I'm still getting used to it, and the zoom feels a lot stickier and hard to...

Same happened to me, not sure what caused it, hoped it was just a momentary thing!

Got mine yesterday, took it out to a shoot almost immediately. Definitely some quirks and some unexpected elements (the graphical depictions switching between modes was kinda startling), but shot about 1000 frames at a concert, both mechanical and electronic shutter, and it is SO much better...

Was just about to pull the trigger on a refurbed R6 to replace my original R. If this thing is actually coming out at $2499... no brainer to get the R6II for $200 more.

I "completed" an order for a refurb version of this lens in... December 2020. Still listed as "backordered." I just assume I'll never get it. Last time I tried to call to cancel it the wait time was over two hours.

I was using two different Canon adapters, one with the control ring and one without, on both an R5 and an R. It was the 24-70L ii. Eventually the problem just went away, but it persisted for a couple weeks. Not sure what happened or what changed to make it stop. Of course, this was after I...

I've been using this lens for concert photography, and it has been a fantastic replacement to my Tokina 11-16mm, which I could only use as a 15-16mm anyway since it's an EF-S lens. But this 16mm is so small that I never have to think twice about bringing it, and it's fantastic at getting...

My R5 and R would freeze every time I zoomed with my 24-70 EF lens. The lens still works fine on my 5D, but shuts the R5 down completely and I have to pop the battery out. Wonder if this will fix that.

This was the first lens I ever pre-ordered as soon as it was available and didn't think twice. Got it last week and took it to a concert, and I am pretty pleased. I've been using a Tokina 11-16 2.8 for about 10 years now, even as I moved to full frame and could only use it as a 16mm prime for...

I'm having similar dilemmas with the RF lenses. I bought two (well, the 28-70 2.0 is still on backorder), and the one i use is, surprisingly, the 24-240. As long as it's daytime, I've found that to be a really capable lens. But i hate that the 70-200 isn't compatible with the TC. I use the EF...

Great, if true. I know 16mm is weird for a prime lens, but the wide angle I've been using, the Tokina 11-16 2.8, which I've used across my last six camera bodies, is essentially a prime at 16 since it's an EF-S mount and I moved to full frame four cameras ago. So I am extra pleased at the small...

Really hope the non-L status of the 16mm 2.8 will make it somewhat affordable. Still using my EF-S mount Tokina 11-16 2.8, which I do quite like, but I can only use it at 16mm on the R5 so if there's an RF at 16 and somewhere near $500 I will be all over that.

I have definitely noticed the battery life shortcomings of the R5. Whenever I used to read about the battery life on the 5D or the original R, I couldn't understand why the reviewers or even Canon's stated battery life was so far below what I was getting. I could shoot all day with one battery...

I am selfishly hoping that some of these in-stock lenses are bad, so they get returned and repaired and my order for a refurbished version from December FINALLY ships...

Damn, I wonder how many people are ahead of me in the queue for the refurbed 28-70. I was hemming and hawing for months. If I'd known how long it would take I would've ordered way before December. And yeah, wanted to change my credit card on the purchase, and after an hour wait on the phone they...

Outside of my R5, I think almost every piece of gear I've bought in the last ten years was from the refurbished site. Never had a problem with bodies or lenses. Now if I could just get that refurbished 28-70 2.0 I ordered in December to ship...

I've had the 28-70 2.0 on back order since December... and that one's not even listed as being in stock. I'm never going to get that lens.

I hadn't used this lens in a long time, until the EOS webcam app came around, and now it's my go-to lens for Zoom calls. On my 5D IV, which I also hadn't used in some time.

My thoughts exactly. I was going to buy the RF 50 1.8, but I will definitely wait to replace my EF 50 1.4. It's a lens I need most in low light situations, but unfortunately it's terrible at AF in low light situations. If they can keep the size the same as the EF version, it'll definitely be my...

I've bought nearly all my gear refurbished from Canon except for my last two R and R5 bodies, never had a problem, and the prices were great. So this is a bit... disappointing. But seeing as i don't NEED the lens I ordered, I suppose I can wait if it means I got almost $700 off on the 24-70 2.0...
