    WOW.
    5 Stars
    WOW.
    So far, so good. I am new to this, and literally did some practice shooting today - see the moon pics and fountain. (No magnifier was used - just the lens, and Adobe Lightroom). Pics so far look amazing. The finish on these L series lenses is otherworldly cool. The fit and finish are amazing. Will update this review if I have more to offer in the future!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Expensive But High Quality
    Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2023
    Have had this lens for a little over a month now. It's been incredible with the Canon EOS R5. The photos uploaded here have no filters and are unedited JPEG images.

    Wildlife photos look excellent and are very crisp. Can even get some decent pictures of planes or birds flying far up in the air. There is an exceptional level of detail even at 500mm.

    Highly recommended for anyone looking to get long distance shots of their subject(s).

    Pros:
    - High quality glass
    - Autofocus is quick
    - Very long distance zoom at 500mm
    - Still functionally useful at 100mm
    - Can be paired with an extender at the cost of a stop and a minimum of 300mm

    Cons:
    - Expensive
    - No locking mechanism on the zoom means that it is constantly sliding out while moving
    - No third party alternatives at the moment; since Canon is not allowing 3rd party glass for the R series
