Just trying to kick start this new forum focussed on lens sample image threads, something we have been missing here.

Please do start your own thread if you can contribute other lenses, or add your 100-500 shots to this thread.

Here are just a few images from my RF 100-500mm all shot with the R5.

Stunning work. This is my next lens to purchase, hopefully right after the first of the year. It is disappointing that the teleconverters do not operate in the complete focal length range.
 
Both R7 with RF 100-500.

Excellent shots. I use this lens all the time too for birds (posted under Birds) and even for bug closeups.

Right, the TC is awkward with this zoom. I am seriously wondering, though, if cropping might give just as good a result as using the TC on this lens. Some say the TCs are designed for the big white primes, not for zooms.

I have not purchased the converter and probably won't.
 
Few animal shots from me for now - don't own the lens anymore but truly blown away by it.
