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 native RF mount.

+
Fast AF with EOS R5/R6, Versatile focal lengths, Outstanding image quality, Solid build
-
-
Expensive, Slow maximum aperture, Sluggish AF with EOS R/RP

The RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM has few rivals in its class when it comes to overall performance.

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 zoom lenses we've tested.

+
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

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.
Rented this lens and EOS R5 for a Rugby Match this weekend. Impressed with the results, lens is lightweight and easy to handle and use. Looking to upgrade to mirrorless down the road, currently shoot with the 7D Mk II.
Amazing RF Lens! Canon never fails... I have both the EF 100-400 and now the RF 100-500 and cannot to get back out there for all my wildlife photography trips... An excellent piece of glass!
very nice lightweight and sharp lens ,, I would definitely recommend it . works great on my R5
Seems to be a terrific lens. Great detail, quick focus and light enough to hand hold.
Let me start by saying that build quality, design & performance are absolutely stunning.Love the little window on the hood for easy access to maneuver a polarizer filter. A fabulous idea indeed!
This lens has outstanding image quality even when rf 1.4x extender is used, just make sure the light is right. The lens comes with the predictable outstanding Canon L-series build quality. The 5-stop image stabilisation allows you to easily handhold stills and video.

I couple mine with the x1.4 RF adaptor, 700mm at my disposal with superb results. Not sure I will ever use the control ring feature, a bit of over engineering for me anyway.
