Stunning images David. Thanks for sharing these. I'm pretty sure anyone lusting after the RF 100-300 will be wanting it even more now! The images look superb even with the 2x.

Super images, David! That dragonfly image is just stunning, and with the 2X tele, just wow.

My wife's fitness trainer plays rugby for a local team so thought we would give it a 'try' way tougher than it looks to get into the correct position - will be covering a few more so hopefully get to grips with it. Few I thought weren't too bad - all with the RF1.4

First race meeting of the season and we had high winds and a hail storm which was. . . . fun! very impressed the R3 with RF 100-300 (with 1.4 extender) locked on to the cars, didn't jump to hail and just held focus.

Had a go at men's rugby, decided if I'm going to try more I need to study the game a lot more to try and anticipate the play so I can re-position myself better. Anyway, few 'okay' ones from the wrong end of the pitch - all handheld with no extender.
