About this deal

Canon EOS R5 + Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM (200mm, 1/8 sec, f/11, ISO100) (Image credit: James Artaius) Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM –Performance Corner sharpness, however, falls somewhat short of expectations at the wide end and midrange. Depending on how you compose your shots this may be less of an issue, but the inconsistency is disappointing for an L lens. A surge in demand for various chips is causing shortages for select 200mm foundry capacity as well as 200mm fab equipment, and it shows no signs of abating in 2021.

Dimensions can be a bit nebulous when you just read them out. So to put them into context, not only can you stand the RF 70-200mm f/4L upright in your normal camera bag –you can also mount it to your camera and put the whole thing into a small sling bag.And that's just crazy. Sigma's Sports designation for the 70-200mm F2.8 indicates it's ready for action, for everything from wedding receptions to sideline photography. The lens features dust and splash protection for work outdoors in inclement conditions, and its front element has a fluorine coating that repels water droplets. The internal zoom further cements the 70-200mm Sports' pro-grade zoom caliber. This type of design draws in less air during zooming actions, so there's less chance of dust getting pulled into your camera versus with a telescoping lens. While IDMs are beginning to see a recovery right now, most foundries will continue to see strong demand for 200mm capacity in 2021. “The trailing-edge nodes are very active at the foundries,” Puhakka said. “If nothing else, it’s just accelerating.” I tested this lens with both of my Nikon Z cameras, Z6 and Z7. You will find original size, unedited JPEG files later on in this article. The photos here were not taken for the purpose of a test but rather real life shots, from my photo outings, hikes and family days. In other words – the lens was used for the intended purpose, not for theoretical tests. Automatic distortion correction is advantageous for architectural shots.

Specifications

Our reviewer particularly enjoyed how intuitive it was to use, noting the sensible layout of the five switches for focus and stabilization on the side of the lens: in particular, the control ring on the base lets you change ISO, aperture and shutter speed. This lens is also fully weatherproof and has a Super Spectra coating on the front and rear elements that fends off dust and moisture — perfect if you're planning shoots in the great outdoors.

The conversion factor from mm to inches is 0.0393700787. To convert any value of mm to inches, multiply the millimeter value by the conversion factor.In 2020, some foundries raised their 200mm prices for customers. “There are selective price increases by foundries, but it’s not across the board,” Wang said. “TSMC has openly declared it will see no 200mm price increases and has encouraged 200mm customers to move up to use 300mm fabs to maintain their long-term relationships. Other Taiwan foundries have some limited price increases. They have contract agreements with many customers that keep prices stable. But select medium- and low-volume customers have experienced more price increases.” The Sigma measures 8.1 by 3.6 inches (HD), weighs about 2.9 pounds, and uses 77mm front filters. It's about the same size as the internally zooming Sony 70-200mm F2.8 GM II (7.9 by 3.5 inches, 2.3 pounds) and Panasonic Lumix 70-200mm F2.8 S Pro (8.2 by 3.7, 3.5 pounds), but it splits the weight difference.
