Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Review

 

Sharp telephoto optics ; Dust, splash, and fluorine protection ; Adjustable zoom tension ; Supports hybrid stabilization ; 1:3 macro focus ; Removable tripod collar ; Lightweight design

Tripod foot doesn't fit Arca-Swiss mounts ; Narrow aperture limits use in dim light ; Awkwardly placed control ring ; Teleconverters only work at 300mm and beyond ; Expensive

The Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM brings big zoom power for sports and nature photographers in the RF system, but does its best work in brighter light.

Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens Review

 

Many referred to 2014 as the "Year of the Lens", and the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM Lens was one of many 2014-announced models. That lens was the hottest, most in-demand model of them all. The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II is in an...

Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM review

 

The Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM is the latest premium super-telephoto zoom for EOS R mirrorless cameras

Stellar build and image quality ; Versatile focal range ; Excellent AF and IS when used on EOS R5 or R6

Narrow max aperture ; Expensive ; Disappointing AF speed on EOS R and RP

The Canon RF 100-500mm is a superb addition to the rapidly expanding range of RF-mount lenses for Canon's EOS R-series cameras. It combines Canon's legendary L-series build quality with premium optical performance that's up there with the very best...

Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM review

 

Tele zoom lenses with long focal lengths are staples for many photographers, and Canon has finally added one for the EOS R system.

Fast AF with EOS R5/R6 Versatile focal lengths Outstanding image quality Solid build

Expensive Slow maximum aperture Sluggish AF with EOS R/RP

With premium glass, snappy autofocus (albeit only when paired with the EOS R5 or R6 bodies) and a longer reach than the popular EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM DSLR lens, the RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L is Canon’s first super-telephoto zoom for the...
