I recently sold my old Canon 100-400mm ii EF lens and upgraded to the Canon 100-500mm RF lens, specifically for wildlife photography. Having recently upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR camera body to a Canon R6 mirrorless camera body, switching from a 100-400mm lens to the Canon 100-500mm RF lens was always very likely.
You see, the Canon R6's sensor a substantially smaller than that of the 5D Mark IV and thus, I've never felt comfortable cropping my photos very much. As a result, the Canon 100-400mm lens always left me feeling a little bit 'short' when I photographed wildlife, especially birds.
What I love so much about the Canon 100-500mm RF lens is the fact that it also allows me to zoom out all the way to 100mm (unlike the Sigma and Tamron 150-600mm lenses), but it has those extra 100mm to help me get a bit closer to my subjects.
In this video, I unbox my brand new Canon 100-500mm RF lens and take it on a field test to the Manyeleti Game Reserve, Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate and Antares Bush Camp in the Greater Kruger, where we photograph elephants, zebras and birds from within the amazing eye-level Umgede Hide. I then share a view photos of you in the office.
My first impressions of the Canon 100-500mm RF lens are very good! It was able to capture sharp images at 500mm of a pair of servals that were sitting nearly a hundred meters away from us in Manyeleti - something that very few zoom lenses would be able to do!
The it captured nice, sharp images after dark when we stumbled upon a relaxed male leopard in the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, despite its minimum f-stop of f/7.1 when zoomed in all the way.
At Antares Bush Camp, the versatility of that 100-500mm zoom range came in extremely handy when I photographed wide shots, portraits and extreme close-ups of elephants and zebras. I was also able to get great, tight portraits of birds around the waterhole and, when paired with the R6 and its incredible animal eye-tracking focus capabilities, those images came out remarkably sharp!
All in all, my first impression of the Canon 100-500mm RF zoom lens is that it's an excellent option for wildlife photographers! Not only is it about the same size and weight as the Canon 100-400mm ii EF lens, but it's as sharp and even more versatile.
