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!

I bought the 1.4x at the time I bought my RF 100-500 about a year ago. I was so impressed with the combo that I decided to buy the 2.x last summer. This is the only 2.x TC I have ever liked in my 40+ years of doing photography. I am very happy with both extenders, I find almost no impact when using the 1.4x and I like t he 2.x option when I need to go longer.  I have also used the 1.4x on my RF 800 f11 with good results.
