Before diving into the world of professional photography, consider the RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens, a super telephoto zoom lens that offers a unique blend of advanced performance, compact design, and exceptional resolving power. This lens is specifically engineered for the EOS R system, making it a perfect fit for capturing sports, wildlife, and aviation photography. The RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens is a versatile tool for both professional and advanced amateur photographers. Its wide zoom range from medium telephoto to super telephoto ensures high-quality results across a variety of shooting scenarios. This lens is equipped with Optical Image Stabilization, offering up to 5 stops of shake correction. This feature, combined with the EOS R series cameras, dramatically reduces camera-shake blur, ensuring clear and crisp images whether you're shooting videos or stills. The lens also offers three Image Stabilization Modes (Standard, Panning, and during exposure only) for creative versatility. These modes provide corrective camera shake functions for outstanding results in a wide range of shooting situations. The RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens employs two NANO USM focus motors, ensuring a near-silent, power-saving, and high-speed autofocus operation. This feature allows fast-moving subjects to be accurately tracked and captured, ensuring you never miss a moment. With a minimum focusing distance of 2.95 ft./0.9m (at 100mm or 3.9 ft./1.2m at 500mm), this lens is capable of capturing sharp and detailed images from various distances. The lens' combination of impressive minimum focusing distance and a maximum magnification of 0.33x at 500mm provides outstanding versatility and impressively sharp images. The lens also features a rotation-type zoom ring, allowing for precise composition and excellent balance when handholding. The 12-pin communication system inherent in all RF lenses ensures quick and efficient user experience by coordinating complex processes requiring high-speed communication and large data transfer. The RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM lens features an optical design built specifically for the RF mount, including one Super UD lens and six UD elements to reduce both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. This ensures high image quality throughout the zoom range. For reliable performance in challenging weather conditions, the lens features a dust- and weather-resistant construction. The lens also features fluorine coatings on the front and rearmost surfaces to prevent oil and water from adhering to the lens, making it easy to clean smudges and fingerprints off. The lens hood features a sliding side window for easy operation and adjustment of specialty filters such as PL filters even with the hood attached. When used in combination with the optional Extender RF1.4x or RF2x, you'll be able to reach even further subjects that would traditionally require much longer focal lengths. This bundle also includes the 3Pod TREK Series 4-Section Travel Tripod with Ball Head, YELANGU A17 Gimbal Head, 77mm Filter Kit and Cleaning Kit, making it a comprehensive package for all your photography needs.

Wow! I bought this lens two months ago to take pictures of birds. I have taken several thousand images. I'm still learning all the nuances when combined with the R7, however I am amazed at the quality images I am getting on just the auto mode. Very lightweight. I have hiked up to 10 miles with it and the R7 with very little fatigue. You definitely cannot go wrong with this lens, especially when combined with the R7.

Best lens I've ever owned.

Has done a solid job. Lighter than the EF 100-400 mm. Has some limitations in low light, so setting adjustments are needed.

Joe in AZ

It has done a great job so far. Gets a bit tricky in low light, but no more so than the EF 100-400 MM. Weighs less than the 100-400 so that is a plus.

If you only could choose one lens for wildlife work...

Excellent, high-quality lens! I'm a bit picky and really believe in using the right lens for the right job - and this lens is not perfect for everything. That being said, I prefer this lens for nature photography rather than sports. I like using a fixed focal length lens for sports where I might use a long telephoto (300 or 400mm, f/2.8). I could see myself using this for something like auto racing. I have used it for rodeo (roping, etc.), but most other sports I, personally, won't use this for. Also, I'm probably not carrying this lens on long hikes as it is a larger lens. I noticed someone else posted about the 100-400 EF version being lighter and better to carry, although I'm not sure I'm carrying either on long hikes. For nature photography (animals and landscape) I love this lens. The quality is outstanding (both build quality and image quality at all focal lengths) and it's very easy to use.

Great Lens - But it has its place.

Canon 100-500 is an incredible lens I recently added. The additional reach I get beyond my 300 prime lens  is superb. In a twist I can back off to 100 for a wider shot. The fact that this powerful of a lens can weigh so little allows handheld shooting vs a monopod with the 300. Price is not an issue when comparing to the benefits with this lens! Thank you Canon for creating this one!!

Great addition to my bag

Have had it 13 months. Excellent for all wildlife.  Including Birds inflight. Have taken over 100,000 shots with it Very happy.  Easy to hand hold and carry with should strap for over and hour at a time even for a 79 year old.

Best Lens ever.   Light weight compared to EF 100-400 ll

Bought for a trip to Yellowstone but didn't use it as much as I thought I would. It's HEAVY. That being said it's sharper and focuses better than my 100-400, but the 100-400 weighs much less and is much better to hike with. Most people know this but make sure to support the weight by cradling the lens, NOT by the camera body.  It may be ok but I was worried I would damage my R6 with the lens hanging unsupported with the strap over my shoulder.  Added a 1.4 extender and got some great pictures of a supermoon, but there's a caveat there too. To use an extender with this lens you must extend the lens to full zoom BEFORE installing the converter, and then the lens will only zoom back to around 300mm making the entire package very long and unwieldy. If you need longer than 500mm consider the 200-800 or one of the prime lenses instead of using an extender with this lens for anything other than tripod use.

Really heavy

Beyond awesome. I have the holy trinity and strongly feel this lens should become the 4th "musketeer".

One of the best lenses made by Canon

out of the box the lens had trouble with focus.  Lens loses focus and images are soft.

Poor quality-I wouldn't take this lens for free

Brought this for SF Fleet Week 2024. The lens is exceptional sharp for 8K resolution. The fast AF + RF extender 1.4x + R5C gives a different kind of experience of far distance airshow photography.

Excellent for airshow photography

Great Lens - sharp. definitely recommend.  will use for wildlife photography.

Great Lens - sharp

Great lens, not a fan of variable aperture, but for the price, small disadvantage, especially with new cameras and being able to use higher iso's.

RF 100-500mm

I have a few months on this lens and it does everything I need it to do.  Even shooting outside the range images crop pretty well and with some Denoise are excellent quality so I've never felt the need for a teleconverter.  So far I've carried it on 10 mile hikes with 2000+ feet elevation gain. I notice it but it's manageable.

Worth every penny

I've been working with this lens for almost a year, and it's just great! Super sharp throughout the range and has great bokeh especially at longer focal lengths. Would definitely recommend if you've got the money.

Versatile Supertelephoto Lens!

I like this lens very much I am getting used to yet

100-500 F4.5-7.1 IS USM

100-500mm

rented this lens for my daughters track and field events. IT ROCKS!!!!
Now I have to buy one. LOL

Awesome for sports

Nice reach and range and works well in good light conditions

Nice reach

Very happy

Although I'm not accustomed to shooting with any lenses without at least an f/2.8 capability, this lens more than makes up for the aperture limitations. The stabilization, sharpness, and range are just game changers. Hand holding at 500mm just seems crazy to me, but it's totally possible. I'm loving this lens.

Surprisingly great

This is an exceptionally sharp lens throughout the zoom range, but especially at 500mm. On an R6 and R6 Mark II, it produces amazing results. If you provide enough room between your subject and the background, there's plenty of separation and pleasingly smooth bokeh, even at f/7.1. Bump the ISO and use DxO PureRAW if the light is a little low. You'll still get beautiful results. This lens is worth the price.

Exceptionally good at 500mm, especially for a zoom

I bought this and the 2x extender and I am glad I did. It's perfect for all my beginner wildlife work

Great lens

I'm blown away by how sharp this lens is at 500mm and they stay sharp when using    the 1.4x & 2.0x extenders! Also, this lens works perfectly with the R5, it's almost like they were custom made for each other!

This is a fantastic lens! I recently started shooting with a Canon R5 and have taken the plunge and plan to use this lens for birding. I have not shot much yet, but look forward to shooting as we get closer to spring migration season!

Fantastic Birding Lens

This is my first foray into the RF lens world. I've been shooting with Canon bodies for many years, from way back to the old film AE-1 Program up to my last EOS 5D Mark IV, and I've enjoyed each one. I am now just breaking in an EOS R5 and I'm enjoying my first introduction to the mirrorless world. This 100-500 lens is a replacement (sort-of) for my tried and true birding lens from my EOS 5D MkIV, the excellent Sigma 150-600. I am so happy I made the choice to try this lens out, I'm extremely happy. Sharp, crisp images, fast focusing, and I love being able to stop down to f4.5 which helps when shooting birds. Highly recommended for any fast moving subjects!

Excellent RF super zoom, highly recommended!

Great lens for sports and indoor crowd shots. Great flexibility with the 100 to 500 range!

Great companion to my 70-200

This lens is simply fantastic. Super sharp, quick to focus, exceptional minimum focusing distance. I use it on my R6mkii and love it.

Fantastic Zoom

I chose this lens over the new rf 200-800 due to it's light weight and close focusing distance. I have an R6 and and R7 so if I need a little extra reach I will use it on the R7.

No regrets.

Bought this when the R6 first appeared to replace an EF100-400m1.  Quality at least as good as you would expect from an L telezoom at this price point.  It really stars when paired with the R7, the resolution at full aperture more than matches the 80Mp (FF equivalent) pixel density of the R7.
