One other advantage for the rf 100-400 is its the only lens other than the GREAT WHITES that work with the RF extenders the 100-500 only works at the long end.

For sure! I can’t believe they didn’t engineer the 100-500 to work along the whole zoom range with the extenders!!! If they can do it on the 100-400, surely they can do it in the 100-500. Wouldn’t you think?

I am sure they could, but probably choose to keep the lens a small as possible. My guess is the lens would be 1-2 inches longer if they supported extenders for the whole range. Personally I wish they had made the choice. I love my 100-500, works great with and without extenders. I also have the RF 100-400 for when I want to go lighter.

I really light the RF 100-400, but the RF 100-500 is easily the best lens I have owned in my 40+ years of photography.
