I recently purchased a Canon R5 and RF100-500mm lens. I am mostly into bird photography and am wondering if there are others with practical experience adding either Canon’s 1.4 or 2.0 teleconverter and how it worked.

Thanks!

My RF 1.4x has lived on my RF 100-500 (on the R5) for 2 1/2 years.  Excellent image quality and autofocus.  Highly recommend this combo (along with RAW and DxO PL6).

As mentioned, the only down-side is that you can't back off the zoom, but I just treat it like a 420-700mm zoom.
