Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L USM Lens Review by Tony Northrup
The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2L USM Lens ( B&H Photo/Amazon/Adorama/Focus Camera) is a full stop faster than the standard 24-70 f/2.8 that many pros use, and that’s a HUGE deal. That reduces noise by a full stop in low-light situations. It blurs the background more than has ever been possible. Tony Northrup has compared it to the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II and the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lenses. You can watch the full video above.
