Is the Canon RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM a good lens for studio portraits and outdoor shots?
>>
Yes. It is a fantastic lens.
>>
No. It is a horrible lens.
>>
>>4326488
if you have a big studio them yes, most professionals use 24 70.

I have a small office I'm going to use. Also just grabbed an EOS R5, I still haven't pulled the trigger on a lense yet, but I do have enough room to be about 7-10ft from the target.

IIRC this is canon's cheapest telephoto L lens, so you're obviously poor. Then I'll assume you have a crop sensor, which means fuck no. True focal length of what, 110-320mm? My guy you'd better be taking portraits from across the street at that FoV. Outdoor? Sure. Just don't expect anything that good; you need something closer to their 400mm

>telephoto L lens
They have an f4 version.

For those who can't afford the f/2.8

You are correct my sir, and I'm pretty sure that's the black and red ring one that's good but generally a cope. I would just say save up for a faster lens which, go figure, is what OP has linked.
For instance I know of an EF-S 55-250mm that is f/4.5-5.6 which is like... half? the price of the f/4 version at only a stop worse apeture and only at max focal distance.

In that case I guess the f/2.8 might be a decent midrange option for OP's use cases. Still reckon it's a bit short of being a good wildlife option. I know 400mm is like, barely usable in my experience and for better shots you want more reach.
Too bad the 600mm f/4 is $20k.

I want what you're smoking

Ah I'm sorry anon, I can't compare something simply because they're built to different qualities. Guess I'll never bring up how a Honda costs less than a Merc but can still get you to work.

that's some good shit indeed

OP here, thanks for the replies.

>>4326671
>Then I'll assume you have a crop sensor
As I said earlier, I just got an EOS R5. It's full frame.
Regardless you weren't wrong about how far I'd have to beat.

I should have specified, when I said outdoors, I meant things like youth sports, particularly baseball and football (soccer).

Anyways after looking into it more, I ended up getting the RF 24-70 and the 70-200 2.8 IS USM's.

I mostly want to focus on indoor portraits/headshots at my office building. The youth sports would be nice to get into but don't think it takes off as quickly. I still haven't looked into how bad weddings and quinceaƱera's (which are very popular here) would be. I'm also not confident enough in my skills to even attempt them yet.

Anyways, thanks frens.

take a look at this video and compare where the dude is standing and taking pics and inspect them if they suit the results you are seeking in your office.

Yeah fuck me, my bad. Glossed over the R5. Those two lenses paired up seem like practically all you need.
