Canon RF100-500 f7.1 lens.
06th February 2023
While Susan and I were out walking along a local riverbank yesterday I was carrying my new Canon RF100-500 f7.1 lens. This is a great little compact and lightweight lens and when coupled with my new Canon R5 mirrorless camera it will be a great performer of that I am in no doubt. I was carrying it with a Black Rapid Breathe strap attached to the lens foot and an extra tether fixed to the cameras strap lug – belt and bracers. This is a very comfortable and safe way of carrying this combo and it allows for the very quick deployment of the camera and lens into the shooting position.
We saw male and female Goosanders on the river about thirty yards away and true to form they began to swim away as soon as they saw us. However, because of the quick eye autofocus on the R5 and the combined camera and lens stabilisation systems allowing easy handheld shooting, getting a shot was relatively straightforward.
It really is a new way of getting images for me, a world apart from lugging heavy and awkward kit around.
