Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptionally good at 500mm, especially for a zoom This is an exceptionally sharp lens throughout the zoom range, but especially at 500mm. On an R6 and R6 Mark II, it produces amazing results. If you provide enough room between your subject and the background, there’s plenty of separation and pleasingly smooth bokeh, even at f/7.1. Bump the ISO and use DxO PureRAW if the light is a little low. You’ll still get beautiful results. This lens is worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow I'm blown away by how sharp this lens is at 500mm and they stay sharp when using the 1.4x & 2.0x extenders! Also, this lens works perfectly with the R5, it's almost like they were custom made for each other!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Zoom This lens is simply fantastic. Super sharp, quick to focus, exceptional minimum focusing distance. I use it on my R6mkii and love it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from The best mid-to-long telezoom Bought this when the R6 first appeared to replace an EF100-400m1. Quality at least as good as you would expect from an L telezoom at this price point. It really stars when paired with the R7, the resolution at full aperture more than matches the 80Mp (FF equivalent) pixel density of the R7.
