The RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM super telephoto zoom lens delivers a superb combination of cutting-edge performance, compact construction and brilliant resolving power specifically designed for the EOS R system. The versatile range of 100mm to 500mm is ideal for sports, wildlife, and even aviation photography while maintaining a compact, travel-ready size and weight. The lens features one Super UD and six UD lenses. Fluorine coated front and rear lens elements provide resistance to dirt, moisture and oils, while L-series construction with dust and weather resistance provide reliability even in challenging conditions. With its built-in, 3-mode, and up-to 5-stop optical image stabilization system, and high-speed Dual Nano USM autofocus motors, the RF100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM will prove its superb optical performance, over and over again.

The RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM is a telephoto zoom lens delivering impressive image quality along with superb mobility as our shortest and lightest 70-200mm f/4 lens to date. Designed for the EOS R System, this lens takes advantage of the large diameter mount and short back focus distance of the RF mount to maintain high image quality while being more compact and portable so you’ll be even more inclined to take it with you on your travels. Results are stunning thanks to 4 UD lenses which help correct chromatic aberration and keep colors vivid, reduced ghosting provided by Air-Sphere Coating (ASC), and Optical Image Stabilization* plus coordinated Optical Image Stabilizer and In-Body Image Stabilizer** for amazingly clear, crisp images at slow shutter speeds and smooth video footage. There’s also dual Nano USMs contributing to a short minimum focusing distance and high-speed autofocus for still shooting and near-silent, smooth autofocus during movie shooting. These features and more, combined with the confidence to shoot in almost any condition with dust- and weather resistant seals and fluorine coating, make the RF70-200mm F4 L IS USM lens a solid performer for any situation.

The FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is Sony’s first*1 α Lens that zooms to 800mm; a range that is ideal for distant subjects and telephoto compression. The fast, precise AF lets you capture unpredictable subjects with accuracy and precision. The internal zoom design minimizes center-of-gravity shift for smooth handling.

I’ve now had the opportunity to use this lens for three birding trips and several day trips at my local parks and refuges and I am very pleased with this lens. My experience with this lens is on the R7 and R8 and I have been very pleased with the image quality on both cameras even at 800mm and wide open at f/9. The first thing I noticed is that the lens feels very well built. Once I got it mounted on my camera the first thing I noticed was how fast the auto-focus is. Having the ability to zoom is a great benefit in that it really opens up opportunities to photograph scenes in a variety of ways. The through on the zoom ring is quite long so zooming from 200-800 is a little awkward but I find that if I keep the zoom at 800mm and back off when necessary it is pretty manageable. The lens is a little on the heavy side but the tripod foot is a good size making it a comfortable handle to carry the lens from and overall I find the lens well balanced and comfortable to hand-hold. The tripod collar isn’t removable. There isn’t a AF limiter switch like is often found on higher end telephoto lenses. This has sometimes a little frustrating. The lens also lacks a mode switch for the image stabilizer and instead depends on an auto-detect for the camera to automatically determine the AF mode needed. It generally works well but sometimes I found that the stabilizer sometimes failed to switch to panning mode when I was panning resulting in a jumpy image in the viewfinder. However, overall the stabilizer is very effective. Overall I have found the lens to be an excellent value for the money and an all around great wildlife lens.

One of the best zoom lenses I have ever purchased at a great price at that. The pictures are sharp, and the Lense is quick. I was surprised How light in weight it is.

This is an incredible lens with incredible value. @ $1899, it's not cheap, but considering that the next level up at 800mm is the RF 800 f5.6 @ $17k this is incredible. Ignore the 1 star review on here as they are only reviewing the availability, which is basic supply and demand and everywhere is sold out right now. You can't blame the lens for being so popular!
