Value for money can't be criticised, it's an outstanding lens for the money so for anyone looking for reach on a more limited budget I would thoroughly recommend buying one.
I like the design, the way you extend it for use then reduce it's size for storage or carrying around. Having said that carrying it isn't as convenient as it might be as there is no lens tripod foot to use as a carry handle.
You are limited to around 25% of the viewfinder for AF points and it seems to have more difficulty in using eye detect than other lenses I have.
The IQ is good, not quite as good as the 100-500 as you'd expect but compare the price!
I'd forget the idea of using a TC with it though despite the fact that it's currently one of only a few RF lenses that is compatible.

I would like to add that I have just updated the R5 firmware from 1.5 to 1.5.1 and the eye focus is spot on again using the 800mm f11 lens. I use the Af-on back button for eye detect.

I was out and about yesterday in appalling weather, even sat in a hide the front lens element was getting wet. The lack of a lens hood is more of a disadvantage than I first realised!

I watched a Youtube video yesterday and I believe the AF point coverage is greater using an R6Mk2 or an R3 compared to my R5 which is limited to a relatively small area.
