    This is such a great lens to have if you like wildlife photography! I’ve been thrilled with the sharpness and overall look of this lens. It’s great on my R6 and crop sensor R7 bodies.

    Well, owning a 100-400 EF lens, I was hoping this lens would be just as good. Wrong, this lens is better, it takes great pictures, the clarity is spot on, I probably won't take this lens off my R5.

    After renting this lens multiple times, I decided I needed to own it. The pictures I have been able to capture with this lens would not have been possible with my 70-200mm. Would I love a faster aperture, of course, but with the ISO range of the R5, I haven't had an issue.

    I am loving this lens. It’s a lot heavier then I expected but I’m okay with it. I upgraded from the 100-400. Feels really well built. Takes great shots. I think the fun factor is worth the $$.

    Wow, I have been shooting with Canon for years and I had a Sigma 150-500mm. I thought that lens was great until I bought this Canon lens. The color, clarity and saturation is so much better than the sigma it’s unbelievable. If you are on the fence, don’t be and buy this lens now.

    I bought this lens to take better photos of birds. The advantage of this lens is that it is better for lower light and fast moving birds. I've taken some nice photos with it. It is lighter to carry but more fragile than the heavier lens. Be careful not to hit it on anything.
