    Frim the box this lens has had focusing issues. Results are very soft images. Sent to canon, who claimed its because of the filter i out on the lens (high quality well known brand of filter). Remived the filter an contine to have issues. Lens loses focus and images regardless are soft. Sent back to canon that now acknlowedges the problem and wants to charge me a minimim it $600 to fix it.

    If you’re looking for a great telephoto lens that won’t break the bank this is it. I found this to be far better than the 800 mm RF or the 600 mm or RF. Although it doesn’t give you the same length it is an L glass lens with a greater ability when it comes to auto focus and sharpness. Well worth the money!!

    Trading from a Sigma 150-600 (EF-S mount) to this full-frame model dropped over a pound of weight from my gear - helpful for a weak back. Quick to focus, ok in dim light when paired with the Canon R5. So happy to have found this in stock! Was back-ordered for months from another (very reputable) vendor. Expensive, but worth it!

    Amazing lens. Love it. It is already my go to lens for pics of wildlife and birds or portraits and closeups of flowers or other small stuff. Works well for all of it.
