is this lens gonna have a fast enough af speed to shoot very fast moving sports at quality comparable to the focus a 70-200 can grab?

I use it to photograph dogs in motion and it keeps up just fine. The USM focus mechanism is very effective. Gear: Canon R10, Canon RFS 18-150, Canon RF 100-400

Copidosoma Goldmember More info | Focus is fast and accurate. However it (mine at least) is pretty soft wide open so you need to stop down a bit if you are looking for good sharpness. I guess it depends on the final output. Gear: 7DII | 6D | Fuji X100s |Sigma 24A, 50A, 150-600C |24-105L |Samyang 14 2.8|Tamron 90mm f2.8 |and some other stuff

Definitely not as fast as far as useable aperture and focus speed as a 70-200 (the 2.8 II is in a league of its own in that range for good reason) though. oh my bad i meant the f4 IS not the 2.8 II Canon EOS R5, RF 15-35 f/2.8, RF 70-200 f/2.8, RF 50mm f/1.2

Yup - in bright light it will be just fine. What body will it be mated to? That can make a difference too in AF speed. Also, you selection of AF point may have an impact. GEAR LIST

A usable lens is critical for that type of work but your timing and "knowledge of the action" will be even more critical.if youd like you can check what ive got so far with my 7D+70-200 F4 at jonathanheierle.photoshelter.com Canon EOS R5, RF 15-35 f/2.8, RF 70-200 f/2.8, RF 50mm f/1.2
