I used DPP early on and really did not care for it. I think once I get the Adobe camera presets it will improve even more. I found ES very good, I have had a few that come out strange for sure but very usable. I did order the 100-500mm and Canon just fulfilled the order but no shipping yet. I will try it but honestly the 100-400mm with extenders works so well. I am not sure if it makes much sense at the cost. If lighter feels betterand a little more reach, maybe? I agree all the lens are better, Canon did very good imho.
Finally figured it out. DPP by default applies a lot of chroma and luminance NR to the images. That's why they appear plastic and processed. When I pulled the sliders to zero, up popped sharper, albeit noisy photos. It reminds me of the a7riv that way though I don't want such heavy handed NR applied and would rather treat it in Topaz. Here's an example:
Canon R5 with the EF 100-400 II lens and EF 1.4 III extender.
Have to say am loving the extender and the eye focus works great with it.
Few images from this combo.
I have to say I really have yet to find one of the pieces of glass that doesn't perform pretty dang good on the R5 this is from the not real notable EF 70-300 IS II USM Nano and I'm pretty happy with the results our big Finn Man posing for me

I can't agree more, the EF 70-300mm IS USM II is a gem!

Some mega awesome images in this thread !
Long time lurker here, canon 5d2 user with a bunch of EF, ZE glass. But the R5 + 50RF and 85RF are at another level altogether, and has rejuvenated my interest back in Canon!
Some pics below with the R5 and RF50 combo for fun, processed in C1 20.
ISO25600 @f1.2. The inner padding of the A pillar has some texture in the fabric which has been rendered faithfully without NR totally butchering it. The dashboard surface in the FG is smooth. You do see some faint streaks, so this is likely the upper end of what I'd use, likely with more careful processing. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-fjx23NX/0/9d72682d/X3/i-fjx23NX-X3.jpg

Forget the settings - what I want to know is where you get owls like that, esp. during daylight! I'm seriously jealous. The best I can score are some western screech owls, and that at f2 at max ISO
