Dear Everyone

I am returning from a trip to Alaska where I used the RF 100-300 mm f2.8 lens with the 2x TC as the prImary lens for my wildlife photography of bears, sea otters, seals and some birds. Overall I am very impressed with the lens on the R3 camera. Focusing was still very quick and pictures were sharp by my standards.

I used the combo on land both handheld and with a tripod. I also used the combo when sea kayaking. I was overall very impressed and found the 200-600 mm range very useful.

All photos shown below and the vast majority during the trip were taken wide open at f5.6 with the 2x TC with the Canon R3. Photos are processed in DXO PhotoLab 6 with only mild sharpening (Unsharpen Mask I=75 Radius =0.5) applied. Focal lengths range from 300-600 mm, but most photos I took were within the 450-600 mm range.
