The RF 100-400 works GREAT on the R6 and it is the ONLY lens that Canon makes that works with the RF1.4x and RF2x 100%. The rf 100-500 only works over the long half of the zoom range. The focus is very fast and dead on with the R6. The weight is awesome at only 635g.

RF lenses that work with both 1.4x and 2x RF TCs:

  • RF600/11
  • RF800/11
  • RF400/2.8LIS
  • RF600/4LIS
  • RF100-400/LIS
  • RF100-500/LIS with some limitations.

Agreed that the RF100-400/LIS is an excellent light weight travel zoom with fast AF.

Sorry about that I was thinking zooms, I don't shoot long primes. I don't think Canon makes a RF 100-400 L, so I can assume you meant RF 100-400 IS ?

Yes, my bad. I meant the RF100-400/IS. I do like this lens as a light weight travel lens. And it's AF is very fast. I haven't tried it with TCs yet though.
