I know you did a few videos about this lens already BUT I really want you to do some more videos about the 200mm f/2 especially how it pairs up with the R5
Do you notice that focus preset doesn't work on mirrorless? I also have this lens but the Focus Preset does not work with eos R and M50. It work just fine on old 1000D not to mention 5d and 1dx series. It just works. But not on the mirrorless. This is also happen on 400mm f2.8 IS II
Thanks for the info! been wondering how this lens performs w the R5. Personally think this lens is the best portrait lens on the market, esp considering its length and shallow DF. Not for everyone but if you're a serious photog think this is a must lens!
Most people buying 200 are people already making money, however the back pain they're getting after shooting the lens for very long period of time made them sell it.
Look at 10:47. It focused on far eye instead of nearest eye, and it does such back focus every time. I have such a combination. On my 1DX it focuses perfectly
@@ZPProductions good good, thx for answer, I think I'll just keep forever and then when 135 comes out and I have the cash just buy that for fun too. Thx so much sir and thx for the great videos
Paul Tortora and thanks for watching ! Yeah the R5 kinda revives old Super teles like this 200mm to modern standard just by being quicker and more accurate then they ever was. And if you can get a used copy they are not cheap but way more affordable then before
Great video, what is the maximum burst rate you can get with that combo? I couldn't see the 200 f/2L listed in the lenses compatible with the 12fps mechanical shutter or 20fps electronic shutter.
awesome video. love the fact u can use older ef lenses with the newer rf bodies! question if u have the rf 2x extender can u try an see if it can work with the rf to ef adaptor so i can give my ef lenses the extra reach using the latest rf gear instead of getting more ef gear??
@@ZPProductions thank u so much. ive asked this question to too many channels and no one has given me a direct answer. thank u for taking the time to try an give me ur feed back! keep up the awesome reviews!
Whaaaat how did someone sell this lens for under $3k that’s insane. I own one and would never sell it, especially at that price, until something better in Rf mount is released
Do you happen to know, where can I get one EF 200mm f2 that is fresh which is almost like new?

Its hard I sold me 200mm away. Every long tele photo lens get sold after a few months haha. Maybe I should not buy another 200mm ...

How will the support for this lens be? Since it is one of the EF lenses that were discontinued by Canon, if it has a problem, will it become unusable?
Likely unrepairable in a few years unless done by some third party house.
How great of the shot, can't imagine such antique lens is fit for r5. Happy for you and have fun!
It’s still in production but because it’s old, you get to buy them at really great prices
@@ZPProductions Will consider as if i have shooting model likes your

lol that is not back focus ...oh boy
Great review!
Thanks!
Hi boss, may 2022, would you keep thr 200f2 ef or if I had a chance to sell it, sell it now and hope 135 1.4 rf does come out, curious on your opinion
No news on the 135 f1.4. Recommend you keep it haha
@@ZPProductions good good, thx for answer, I think I'll just keep forever and then when 135 comes out and I have the cash just buy that for fun too. Thx so much sir and thx for the great videos
Great video and images. Nice to see EF series on the R5 body with such great performance. Thanks for sharing.

Can you give me the link of used one of that lense.

RoboTeddy I tried and mechanical is 9 while electronic is around 19

It doesn’t work. The extender can’t fit into the RF adapter.
@@ZPProductions thank u so much. ive asked this question to too many channels and no one has given me a direct answer. thank u for taking the time to try an give me ur feed back! keep up the awesome reviews!
I love your shots, saw them at Facebook group and now here
Thanks!
Mind if you can review a7RIV+MC+EF200mmf2. Thanks in advance.👍
Don’t think I can do it anytime soon since I don’t have both the camera or adapter hmm
The models take the cake. The lens is secondary. Hahahaha
I'm using my old 200mm 1,8f. Hope it will work well with new R5. Anyone knows more about that?
I seen people used them. Seems to work fine
Really was hoping to see the 200mm f/1.8.
My friend use to have one but that’s sometime ago. The lens can no longer be repaired and maintained so he sold it sadly
How much do you pay it?!
When I was reviewing this, around 2800 usd
Nice. Thanks for this vid
No problem!
This is my dream lens!!!!
Good luck finding that lens for $2800 USD now and it's only been 2 years since this video was released. Price is about $4300 for one in okay shape.
Yup. Local price on my side has went to 5k SGD for second hand
Whaaaat how did someone sell this lens for under $3k that’s insane. I own one and would never sell it, especially at that price, until something better in Rf mount is released
There was infact 3 piece in my local forum when R5 first came out. Now trying to even get a second hand one is hard
My dream lens 😍
It was mine too haha. Its lucky I got it at a very nice used price
Don’t forget that 85mm 1.2 DS is really an F/2.
Yup I covered that in my DS review. However it is like a f2 with Gaussian blur applied to its bokeh area with intense sharpness
That’s Lens is so good.
Yup. And the price is Low enough to consider if you can get one used
I have this lens! Can’t wait to use it on my R6 as I am waiting for the adapter. I rather use the 200mm than 85mm.
It breaths new life into the lens really.
I personally think that the r5/6 revives all this old telephoto and made them more viable then ever to use
Can’t wait to use the eye auto focus!
Great review but for god’s sake, please say „millimeter“ instead of „M.M.“… that’s so annoying 😂
11000 US combo :P
Michael Swärdh get it used. Mines like 2.8k for Lens
brother! who is going to carry that lens? unfortunately, all canon lenses are big and unpractical.
It’s not so bad. Use a roller bag and only lift when needed haha
