Seems like a cool lens but I’m pretty disappointed to see Canon going in this direction with their RF super tele’s. A 300 f/2.8 DO with a built-in extender would have been a pre-order for me but as a bird photographer I have no desire to own this one. Hate to say it because I love my R3 but Nikon’s looking better and better, for birding their lineup just makes a lot more sense. I’ve often considered buying a 400 f/2.8 to accompany my 600 f/4 but just didn’t feel like carrying around two big whites. Nikon essentially gives you both in a single lens with the option of owning a relatively affordable and compact 800mm when more reach is needed (or just slapping on a 2x depending on the scenario).
I think this is a sports lens, not a birding lens.
Yes, unless it´s birds in cages. And as Tony5787 suggests it leaves room for a DO 300/2.8 with built in 1.4x that can be very small/short and light compared to a non DO dito. My guess is that a 200-500 f/4 would be the RF 500/4 with 200-499 included and in out hands far before the DO 300. Include a 1.4x in the 200-500 and the price for the 100-300 will be a real bargin.
