Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens Announced



Most of the baseball since June and some of the NFL and both the Cirque du Soleil and Lionel Richie.
 
I will settle for my Sigma 120-300 2.8 which works perfectly with my Canon 2x series 3 converter and only cost AU$3000 instead of USD$10000. My pictures are sharp enough and good enough for what I need with this lens. Then I also have the 150-500 4-5.6 as a back up which also works with the TC. I cant really justify spending more thousands for new lenses now I'm retired.
 
I must agree with Kerro. I've not used the Sigma 120-300, but I have used the Sigma 150-600 for wildlife and it worked perfectly. That leans is under $1000 USD and works well with the EF-RF converter. I don't know how I could justify spending nearly $10K USD on a lens (unless I won a lottery :)
 
Much to much money for a hobby, but I think about the 100-500 lense.
I still have to wait until my bank account grows :)
 
Loved the RF100-500 just wished it had internal zoom and the extenders didn't restrict it to 300mm start point.
After a lot of scrimping and saving I got the 100-300 a few months ago - shot a few thousand shots motor racing trying with the 1.4 and then the 2x and I'm blown away with it,
