I agree. I probably shoot birds as much or more than anything else, and love my R5 Mk II with a Canon RF 100-500 zoom, shooting mostly at 500mm.

The 100-500 is such a brilliant lens.

I'm not a birder, but somehow have some nice shots of birds. 90% of them are with lenses in the 300mm-400mm range. Right place, right time sort of thing I guess.

I’ve noticed an increasing number of R5 cameras being used in exhibition standard landscape photography too. An example is the 2024 Natural Landscape Awards, so that looks pretty healthy. And yes, I’m in there too keeping the 5DS relevant in 2025 !

100-500 and 200-800 are both gorgeous lenses for bird photography.

You are so right! I am so happy taking either with me for my day's birding with my R5ii.

I only wish, the 100-500 could be retracted with the 1.4 TC.
