Let's start a "Pro-Canon Whining" post!
I'm also a wedding photographer and I don't like the RF version.
I WAS a Wedding photographer and I can see the benefits of both.Indeed. I'm a wedding photographer and I've never liked the EF 70-200/2.8. The RF version is a whole different story.
I found the RF 70-200/2.8 to be sharper and have better bokeh than the EF MkII.However, optically, there is no discernable diffrence in the end photos.
That's most likely due to copy variation then the differences between the EF mkII/III and RF versions. Have you seen the MFT charts...there's not a lot of difference.I found the RF 70-200/2.8 to be sharper and have better bokeh than the EF MkII
Yes, I have seen them – there's actually a meaningful difference as far as MTF charts go. The contrast (black lines) is similar, the resolution (blue lines) is higher with the RF version once you get away from the center of the image. That's consistent with comparing both lenses on the same (R-series) camera.That's most likely due to copy variation then the differences between the EF mkII/III and RF versions.

For me, I already have a fine EF 70-200/2.8 LIS II that's well proven and paid of it's self over and over. It was never a main go to lens of mine, I far prefer the EF 135L. The RF version is a lot easier to store in a lens bag and it's a fair bit lighter. However, optically, there is no discernable diffrence in the end photos. Because I already have a EF mkII, the side grade to the RF version offers me a bit of lightness and ease of portablility. That's a little bit of benefit for a £2700 side grade! AS I've said before, the loss of teleconverter use realy reduces the verstatiliy of the RF version compared to the EF version. The whole point of the TC is that I don't have to take yet another lens with me. If you find that you need to take an addional 100-500L with you then it points to the fact that Canon have taken the TC option away and upsold you another (expensive) lens.
