Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing lens. Bought it for taking pictures of my daughter’s color guard competition at the Rose Bowl and did a little plane spotting at LAX (from the park hill). Used with my R6ii and got some top tier shots.

Great lens at a great price. Sharp at 500mm as well as 100mm. I mainly do motorsports and zoo photography and this lens is great for both. It's light weight which makes it's easy to carry.

Paired with R6 II, super sharp, fast focus, 4.5-7.1 aperture is just fine, good stabilization. Loved taking it to Alaska, glad I had the full range from 100-500. It was the only lens I used, and only once did I wish for wide angle.

Incredible Reach, Insane Sharpness The Canon RF100-500mm is everything you want in a telephoto—lightweight, fast autofocus, and tack-sharp images all the way to 500mm. Image stabilization is rock solid, and the build is pure L-series quality. Perfect for wildlife, sports, and looking way cooler than your friends. Worth it!

Amazing lens, its portable, light weight and can give your camera the reach (even at full frame) to catch that wildlife without scaring them away. This lens is also great for airshows, landscape photography and anything your imagination throws at it. Highly recommended.

Performance is incredible, as it is fast, sharp, and when mated with my R6, only came off my camera for the occasional landscape shot as I was there for wildlife...and the area did not disappoint. Yes it is expensive, however buy this before getting the 70-200 and then think about all the times you missed a shot because you had this lens vs. the 70-200. At this point, I am reducing what I carry because of this lens.

I am an amateur photographer at best. My favorite subjects are animals. I especially like shooting birds in flight. This lens is fast and accurate. I paired it with a Canon R6 mirrorless camera and couldn't be happier. This combo doesn't miss focus that often and I keep more photos than ever before. I thought the cost was high until I started using it. I don't delete anywhere near as many photos as I used to. Worth the money for sure!

If you are a Canon shooter and shoot wild life, ye have the legendary EF 100-400mm Now when you switch to mirrorless R bodies, while you sure can use the EF with adapter, but it makes more sense to get this bit lighter and addition 100mm reach lens that you can mount directly on the R body. Excellent focussing and superb image quality. Not sure now but at the time I purchased it, the availability was a great issue. So grab one when you see it. You will not regret.

This L series lens got me tack sharp photos with my R7! It is also quite light which was nice.

Excellent service! The lens itself is the usual Canon quality. This lens is perfect for getting more reach in an affordable price range.

Upgrade from the EF100-400mm. No more adaptor for EF lens. The image quality is good, the extra 100mm focus range is a plus. However the lens use more plastic material instead of a fully aluminum case. It just doesn't feel as solid as the previous EF lens. Time will tell how it lasts.

Had to wait awhile until my Canon EOS R5 came in from Best Buy. Once I paired it up to my new camera - I was more than pleased. This lens is hardy, sharp, and has a great focusing and zoom range. Canon has created a winner. I just wish it had a bit better aperture. 7.1 is a bit slow.

Canon L lenses are more expensive than 3rd party lenses, but can be worth it. The way it works with a Canon back of similar quality is very nice. You just need to decide if the Canon integration is with the premium, but for my use it was.

This is an awesome Lense. I have already used for wildlife photos and the the clarity and sharpess is amazing. I have also used for ports photos during sunny day and it did an awesome job

I wasn’t sure if I wanted this lens or the Canon 200-800. I’m so glad that I chose this lens. It takes amazing photos.can’t wait to get out and use it more.

I am using this lens paired with both and R6 and R7. I had a Tamron 150-600 G2 lens and had focusing issues. Purchased this lens and all the focusing issues have resolved. Super fast silent focus with top notch sharpness.

One of my favorite lenses. Great for everything i shoot very universal.

For the price you can't a better lens within this focal zoom length. Just tact sharp and AF is quick and really light in weight compared to it's similar EF counterpart.

This is a reliable lens that offers excellent autofocus, stable images. Very satisfied with the image quality of photos taken with this lens. Excellent focal lengths for wildlife or bird photography. Highly recommended. Only criticism is that the lens is very expensive, as it seems all Canon RF products are.

This lens is just wonderful, after using the RF-800mm for 8 months and working around the shortcomings of the lens F11 using the 100-500 mm it is such a joy to be able to shoot and know that the image I just capture is in focus and little grain with out even peeking at the image
