Canon R8 Thinking of getting an R8 with 100-500 mm lens

Hello, I'm thinking of getting the R8 with the 100-500 or 70-200mm lens for wildlife photography. Thoughts? Advice? Thank you.

Hi Brian,

Welcome!

You may want to check out this review of the R8 and RF 100-500 combo from TheCameraStoreTV.

I also recommend The-digital-Picture.com for in-depth written reviews of the R8 and RF 100-500.

(I have an RF 100-500, which I would rate as 'absolutely fantastic', but not that body - I have an R5).

I have an R5 with that lens, and it's stellar. Just no weak spots at all, and you lose next to nothing when you add the 1.4TC. Note, just one downside with the TC: you lose some zoom range due to the physical constraints of the TC. Anyway, go for it!
