I recently purchased the RF 100-300/2.8 and noticed the eyelets for the strap are nowhere close to being even on both sides (one is much higher than the other).

Anyone else experience the same - or something different - on your copy?

This is normal. You could also google official Canon photos of this lens to solve the mystery.

If you think about it, there is probably a benefit to having the strap lugs oriented this way, as I imagine the lens will hang with greater stability, and be less prone to rotational forces while moving.
