Canon's remarkably light RF 70-200mm f/4L with internal zoom — barrel never extends — and 5.5-stop IS.
The Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM (2020) radically redesigned the telephoto zoom concept. At 695g it weighs half a typical 70-200mm f/2.8. Its internal zoom means the barrel never changes length — a first for any 70-200mm.
Sharpness is outstanding for an f/4 zoom, even wide open. Nano USM and ring USM dual motors deliver fast, silent AF. IS rated at 5.5 stops. Minimum focus 60cm gives 0.28x macro at 200mm. Chromatic aberration well controlled.
Canon RF mount, 77mm filter thread. L-series weather sealing with fluorine front coating. Internal zoom prevents dust ingestion. Compatible with RF 1.4x and 2x extenders for 280mm f/5.6 or 400mm f/8.
Growing used availability. Check IS for smooth operation and zoom ring for even resistance. The internal zoom means no extending barrels to develop play. Delivers 90% of the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L quality at half the weight.
