The R5 and RF 100-500 are a great combo. The AF is the best I've used and this is coming from a Sony A9. The animal eye AF almost feels like cheating, it really is that good. The lens pairs really well with the 1.4 extender. The only issue, as mentioned before, is that due to the lens design you have to extend the 100-500 to 300mm in order to use the 1.4 extender. This seemed a bit awkward at first, but after using this combination for 3 months I don't notice it anymore.

I was nervous spending what I spent to get into the Canon system (coming from Sony and Olympus), but I can honestly say I have no regrets.
