Customers are saying

Customers highly value the RF100-500mm lens for its excellent image quality, lightweight design, and fast focus speed, making it easy to carry and use in various situations. The reach and versatility of the lens are also appreciated by users. However, some customers find the price to be a bit high, and a few wish the zoom mechanism was different and have commented on the narrow aperture.

    Outstanding quality. The lens is lighter than the original 100-400 and gives you extra lenght.

    This is a great lens. The eye/face detection is amazing. I use this lens for nature, mainly bird and butterfly pictures. The auto focus tracking is out of this world :) Took me a minute to figure out if you just wait (less than a second it locks on to the eye) the you hold auto focus and it tracks it.

    If you have an R5 or R6 you want this amazing lens! It's great for birds in flight and other wildlife.

    I mostly use this lens for wildlife photography. Wide open at 500mm, it is incredibly sharp. The autofocus coupled with an R6 and R7 is amazing. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is the price. Rival camera companies seem to be selling their equivalent at much less.

    This is perhaps the best lens in the world for wildlife photography. The bokah, colors and details are so awesome. I recommend everyone having the budget to buy this lens. It is for a reason that it is labelled as an L lens.

    I'd been wanting a lens like this for so long, and finally decided to go for it. It's really upped my game, and I'm able to take advantage of all the great wildlife we have here in Florida. I highly recommend this lens & the Canon R6 Mark II.
