Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent for airshow photography 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.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from RF 100-500mm 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth every penny 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Versatile Supertelephoto Lens! 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.
