Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate this lens. But that being said, it could have been so much more. If you are pairing it with the RF 24-105 f4, you are really only buying 95mm of extra reach. Canon could have made this lens revolutionary in the market buy making if a 70-300 f4L. It’s certainly possible with the larger mount and larger glass of RF, and not to mention their ES 70-300 is already a f4-5.6. When the manufacturers came out with the larger mounts, it was with the promise of new possibilities, instead they churn out identical lenses (mostly) as what they had before. The mfrs all treat the 70-300 as the red headed stepchild, but yet they ALL make them. 70-300 lenses make for a great sports shooting length as well as a not terribly large travel lens with great range. The 70-200 f2.8 makes for a great indoor and low light lens, but outdoors it just becomes too small, hence the value of having a 70-300 f4L. Sorry if this sounds rantish, I just wish the mfrs would move on from two decade old set in stone formulas for lenses.
Yeah and that is called 100-500 L

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
It's small, light, cheap and extremely wide but is it any good?
After weeks with a production Fujifilm X-T5, Chris and Jordan have some final thoughts.
Released only weeks apart, the Sony 50mm F1.4 GM and Sigma F1.4 DG DN Art are clear competitors. Which is the better buy?
Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder.
There are a lot of photo/video cameras that have found a role as B-cameras on professional film productions or even A-cameras for amateur and independent productions. We've combed through the options and selected our two favorite cameras in this class.
What’s the best camera for around $2000? These capable cameras should be solid and well-built, have both the speed and focus to capture fast action and offer professional-level image quality. In this buying guide we’ve rounded up all the current interchangeable lens cameras costing around $2000 and recommended the best.
Family moments are precious and sometimes you want to capture that time spent with loved ones or friends in better quality than your phone can manage. We've selected a group of cameras that are easy to keep with you, and that can adapt to take photos wherever and whenever something memorable happens.
What's the best camera for shooting sports and action? Fast continuous shooting, reliable autofocus and great battery life are just three of the most important factors. In this buying guide we've rounded-up several great cameras for shooting sports and action, and recommended the best.
