Is the canon rf 70 200mm f 4l is usm good for portraits?

Yes, with one caveat. On full frame it's a 70-200mm zoom, and the longer end gives the flattering, distant perspective the portraits guide recommends. It's stabilised and autofocuses, and it fits full-frame Canon RF bodies like the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6.

The catch is the f/4 maximum aperture. The guide points to 70-200mm f/2.8 for strong background blur, so this lens will blur backgrounds less. Outdoors, with the subject far from the background, it still works well. If you shoot indoors or want creamy backgrounds, a portrait lens with a wider aperture will serve you better.
