📷 RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM Canon lens in white Review

Previously, I periodically used Sigma televisions, and thought that more was not needed. For a long time he did not dare to buy, but still overcame himself and bought it. Now for me this is lens number 1. If you wish, you can catch swallows on the fly with it, and this lens succeeds (to understand the complexity of the process - a small bird that flies fast enough and often unpredictably changes its trajectory every 2-3 seconds) . This is one of those lenses when, before using them, it seems…

After 70–200, I wanted something more telephoto. The choice of RF lenses at the end of 2022 is not so great - RF 600, RF 800 or RF 100-500. But I wanted the lens to focus from 90 cm, and not from a few meters, so I settled on RF 100-500. Of course, I compared it with the EF 100-400, primarily in terms of aperture ratio. So, characteristics 100-400 in parentheses, RF 100-500 in square brackets. F 4.5 (100–135), [100–151]; F 5.0 (135–312), [151–254]; F 5.6 (312–400), [254–363]; F 6.3 [363–472]; F

Through trial and error, I found that the autofocus is slow and inaccurate, making it difficult to capture fast moving objects. The image quality is also lacking, resulting in blurry and washed out shots. The only positive aspect of this lens is its lightweight design. However, it still doesn't justify the steep price tag. Overall, I would not recommend this to any photography enthusiast.
