Pros and cons

According to our camera lens expert

• Thanks to the large zoom range, you can easily photograph subjects from a distance.
• You can easily take this compact telephoto lens with you in a camera bag.
• The 5.5-stops image stabilization prevents motion blur, so you can easily photograph out of hand.
• The lens doesn't have a fixed aperture, so the light intensity decreases when you zoom in.
• In combination with a light camera, the 635g lens may feel heavy.

A fantastic telephoto zoom lens for the EOS R camera

A fantastic telephoto zoom lens for the EOS R camera

• Very sharp image compared to EF lenses with converter
• Lightweight
• Good stabilizer
• F8 at 400mm, but pays for itself in light weight

A fantastic telephoto lens for the canon EOS R series. Beautifully sharp image, which I doubted from a lens in this price category. Its light weight makes it a fantastic lens to take with you on a walk in nature or beautiful macro photography. For professional work, it does not beat an L series lens (especially in brightness and build quality), but these are also considerably more expensive.

In short, a fantastic purchase where you really get value for money

Great lens

An excellent lens for the money. The result is less light strength, but you can't expect everything for this money. Fast focus and sharp images.
