The Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens and I hung out with these fawns for a couple of hours this week.
White-tailed deer fawns are at the top of my most adorable animal list, and white-tailed deer fawn bokeh also works well.

Image quality, vignetting, and distortion test results, along with specs and measurements are now available on the Canon RF 100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens page.
Can you find a zoom lens sharper wide open than this one? This lens optically performs better with extenders than even the big white RF prime lenses do with them.
Here is the comparison to the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens. Incredibly, the zoom lens matches the sharpness of this impressive prime lens, including in the corners.
Add the 1.4x, and the zoom lens still matches, even exceeds in the corners, the optical performance of the prime.
At this point, you are not likely surprised that the zoom lens keeps up with the prime with the 2x extender mounted. I seldom appreciate the image quality produced with a 2x extender in the optical path, but the EF 300mm F2.8 IS II lens was one of the best with-2x performers, and the RF 100-300mm lens performs similarly (with slightly more but easily correctable lateral CA).
Creating high-grade with-extender image quality vastly increases the versatility of this zoom lens, and brings another outstanding zoom lens, the Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM, into the radar.
This 200mm wide-open aperture comparison shows no winner. The 420mm vs. 400mm f/4 comparison also shows no winner, and ditto in the 600mm vs. 560mm f/5.6 comparison (though the RF lens has more lateral CA).
Many other comparisons are available:

Briefly, the Badlands National Park skies produced a nice show this evening, complete with the clouds seeming to match the ground texture. While I like the photo, the experience was even better.
See the sheep standing on the leftmost peak? We were in location for the sunset photo when this bighorn sheep ewe showed up on the ridge immediately to our right.
Then, it ran down the side of the cliff and ran up the one it is shown on. The sheep's ability to navigate the steep, slippery terrain at speed is incredible.
Experiences like these happen when you spend time in the right places. A second sheep is bedded on the tall peak close to the center of the image, and two more are walking between the two. Also impressive is that all four sheep stood still for a one-second exposure.
The optically impressive Sony FE 12-24mm F2.8 GM Lens got the call for this sunset. With clouds covering most of the sky, the odds of good sunset color were low. However, that scenario meant the entire sky could light up brilliantly, and I wanted ultra-wide angles of view ready to capture as much color as possible.
A small opening in the clouds created a light show that made 12mm a highly welcomed option. The Sony Alpha 1's ultra-high resolution makes the distant sheep easily recognized when the image is viewed large.

The Canon EOS R100 is here, and it is time to set up this camera for use. Following are the 32 steps taken to prepare an out-of-the-box R100.
- Record serial number, and add camera to the insurance policy
- Open the box, find the battery, place it in the charger, and plug it in.
- Consider downloading and installing the latest Canon imaging software to gain support for the latest camera model(s). Canon Digital Photo Pro (DPP) and EOS Utility are the options I include in the install.
- Insert a memory card (we'll format the card in a later step), insert a charged battery, and power the camera on.
- The date, time, and time zone setup display will show at the first startup. Use the rear cross keys and set button to update this information.
- Set the camera's mode to Av, Tv, or M (some modes may provide only a subset of available menu options) and press the menu button.
- Shooting Menu, Tab 1: Image quality: Use the top control dial to set RAW to "RAW", and use the rear direction keys to set JPEG to "-" (RAW image files provide the highest quality and are especially valuable for post-processing work)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 1: Auto Lighting Optimizer: Off (my choice is to adjust the images later)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 2: White balance: AWB W (White) (I seldom use another white balance setting while shooting, though I often adjust white balance modestly during post-processing)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 3: Picture Style: Neutral with Sharpness = 1 (Note: the low contrast "Neutral" picture style provides a histogram that best shows the available dynamic range. I usually change the Picture Style to "Standard" in DPP after capture.)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 3: Lens Aberration Correction: All options "OFF" (I suggest that most photographers enable Chromatic Aberration correction, enable others to taste)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 3: High ISO speed NR: Low (noise reduction is destructive to images details, so I prefer to add noise reduction sparingly during post-processing)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 4: Continuous AF: Disable (I want the camera to focus only when I half-press the shutter release)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 5: MF peaking settings: On (highlight in-focus detail in red during manual focusing)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 6: Image review: Review duration: 4 sec.
- Shooting Menu, Tab 7: Shooting info. disp.: Screen info. settings: Enable 1, 2, and 4; edit screen 2 to show only: Basic shooting info and Histogram
- Shooting Menu, Tab 7: Shooting info. disp.: VF info/toggle setting: Enable 1 and 3 (the default); edit screen 3 to show only Histogram
- Shooting Menu, Tab 7: Shooting info. disp.: Grid display: 3x3 (sometimes the 3x3 grid is helpful for alignment checking while not complicating the view)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 7: Shooting info. disp.: Histogram disp: RGB, Small (show the brightness levels of each channel separately and do not let the graph to take up much space in the display as it can affect the perceived composition)
- Shooting Menu, Tab 7: Disp performance: Smooth (select Smooth if shooting fast action and battery life is not a concern, select Power saving otherwise.)
- Playback Menu, Tab 5: Playback information display: 1 and 2 only; change view 2 histogram to RGB
- Wireless Settings Menu, Tab 1: Airplane mode: Off (only choose this setting if not using the camera's wireless features)
- Function Settings Menu, Tab 1: Format card (always format a memory card in the camera before using it — all data on the card will be lost)
- Function Settings Menu, Tab 1: Auto Rotate: On computer (images are properly rotated when viewed on a computer, but are always oriented to fill the LCD when viewed on the camera)
- Function Settings Menu, Tab 2: Beep: Disable (most will find your camera's beep annoying)
- Custom Functions Menu, Tab 4: Custom Functions(C.Fn): C.Fn II:Others 5: Retract lens on power off: Disable (I opt for off to prevent a carefully-selected focus distance from resetting when the camera auto powers off)
- Custom Functions Menu, Tab 4: Copyright information: enter as desired
- Display Level Settings Menu, Tab 1: Menu Display: Standard (novices may appreciate this feature)
- Display Level Settings Menu, Tab 1: Mode guide: Disable (novices may appreciate this feature)
- Display Level Settings Menu, Tab 1: Feature guide: Disable (novices may appreciate this feature)
- My Menu: Add My Menu 1: Register your most-used options
- With a lens mounted and a subject focused on, adjust the viewfinder diopter until the scene is sharp
I make additional menu and other setting changes based on current shooting scenarios, but this list covers my initial camera setup process.
To copy this configuration means you intend to shoot as I do, including in RAW-only format. While this setup works optimally for me, you should adjust the camera setup to your needs.
If you can't remember your menu setup parameters, keeping an up-to-date list such as this one is a great idea. Anytime the camera is set to the factory state, such as when serviced or when acquiring an additional camera, the list will ensure all settings are quickly re-established.

The short answer is "Get both." Otherwise, read on.
In this comparison, we look at a pair of stand-out professional-grade lenses in the ultra-popular 70-200mm focal length range, frequently used for photographing people and people participating in events, including sports. Landscape and product photography are two additional popular uses for these lenses. In addition to being so useful, lenses in this class also represent some of the longest focal length and widest aperture combinations available in an affordable, easily carryable lens.
Canon has long had a pair of 70-200mm image stabilized lens options in their lineup, and while their sizes and weights were reasonable, these were relatively long, heavy, fixed-size lenses that commanded a significant chunk of space in the case, requiring a horizontal position in most backpacks. Canon's first mirrorless 70-200mm lens option, the retracting RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens amazed us with its dramatically reduced size and weight, and the image quality produced by this lens was just as impressive.
Announced just over 1 year later, Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM Lens provided the second mirrorless option, featuring the same relative advantages as the F2.8 version.
The primary difference between these lenses from a use perspective is the maximum aperture opening. An f/2.8 aperture provides twice as much light to the imaging sensor as f/4, allowing it to do the same work in far darker conditions.
A wider aperture creates a shallower depth of field that results in a stronger background blur, and that is another big advantage of the f/2.8 lens.
While those two differences are tied directly to the required build specifications, the f/2.8 lens's modest image quality advantage is the result of optical design quality. The RF 70-200mm F2.8 vs. F4 lens image quality comparison shows the F2.8 lens as sharp (resolution and contrast) or sharper at f/2.8 as the f/4 lens at f/4. Equalized at f/4, the F2.8 lens has an advantage, and the two lenses perform more similarly at f/5.6.
The F2.8 lens has less lateral and spherical CA overall, shows modestly fewer flare effects at narrow apertures, and stopped down 1 stop, has less peripheral shading at 200mm f/4. The F2.8 lens has slightly better bokeh, creates better sunstars, and has less pincushion distortion at 200mm. The F4 lens has slight focus shift at narrow apertures and close focus distances.
Thanks primarily to the smaller lens elements required to create an f/4 aperture vs. an f/2.8 aperture, the F4 lens's big advantages are a considerably smaller size, lighter weight (about 2/3 as much), and lower price (about 43% less).
The Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens vs. Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM Lens comparison shows the just-mentioned size and weight benefits of the f/4 aperture.
| Model | Weight oz(g) | Dimensions w/o Hood "(mm) | Filter | ||
| Canon RF 70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens | 37.8 | (1070) | 3.5 x 5.7 | (89.9 x 146.0) | 77 |
| Canon RF 70-200mm F4 L IS USM Lens | 24.5 | (695) | 3.3 x 4.7 | (83.5 x 119.0) | 77 |
The F2.8 lens has a tripod mount ring, an advantage for rotating a camera mounted on a tripod or monopod, but the F4 lens isn't heavy enough to require such for balance purposes. The F4 lens has a modest maximum magnification advantage (0.28x vs. 0.23x). The F4 lens's zoom ring is located behind the focus ring and closer to the rear of the lens (an advantage), and its control ring positioned at the front of the lens is easier to use vs. the F2.8 lens's rear position. The F2.8 lens's hood has a filter adjustment window (that I don't like).
If the size, weight, and price differences are not an issue, get the F2.8 lens. I choose the F2.8 version most frequently, including for freezing low light action such as sports on a cloudy day, after the sun sets, or indoors, creating a stronger background blur, and creating starburst effects. This lens version is also the best option for portraits, weddings, and stage events. I also use this lens version for product photography and other close work where focus shift is not tolerable.
Otherwise, the F4 lens has your name on it. If hiking and traveling are on the agenda, small and light are likely more important than the f/2.8 aperture, and I likely have the F4 lens in my pack.
As hinted in the short answer, the ideal kit will include both lenses.

Last fall, my oldest and her husband were blessed with a son, Elliott. Right, that makes me a grandfather, and no other word has made me feel older. If you have followed this site from the beginning (celebrating 20 years this fall), it might make you feel old too.
It was time for another round of Elliott pictures. Timing baby pictures, even for babies as adorable as Elliott (I admit bias in that regard), revolves around the short durations between eating, sleeping, and being fussy.
It was nearly noon when I got the "We're ready!" call. Outdoor pics were requested, and the available lighting was from a bright overhead sun. The good location option under this bright spotlighting condition is facing outward from just inside a shade, yielding a large, but directional, soft light. A patio was the choice for this example.
These pics were all about Elliott, and a sense of place was not important. The Canon RF 135mm F1.8 L IS USM Lens was my easy first choice. Especially with the close subject distance required to fill the frame with a baby, this lens easily turned the background into a strong blur.
The shallow depth of field produced by the 135mm and f/1.8 combination at close distances challenges a camera's AF system. With a DSLR, a significant percentage of always-moving baby pics with such a lens would be at least slightly out of focus, and getting a perfectly focused image combined with the perfect baby pose is difficult.
With the latest round of mirrorless cameras, the challenge has become selecting the favorite image to share (and having the fortitude to delete cute baby pictures to avoid overload). The Canon EOS R5 in servo mode with people eye detection AF enabled allowed me to focus on framing and shutter release timing. The camera's results were nearly perfect. Image selection was almost exclusively based on Elliott and I coordinating on the timing and framing.
Post processing primarily involved use of the drool and mulch removal tools. Check out how sharp this eye is:
Most results looked like this. Drool inspiring.
Hopefully you picked up a photo tip and felt the joy of this little boy.

While you may or may not think this image is "great", the bird is undoubtedly a "great egret", and this beautiful bird is a great subject, especially at Gatorland, where they are acclimated to people.
Combine the permitted close proximity with the greatness of the Canon EOS R7 and RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens combination, providing an ultra-high-resolution APS-C imaging sensor and a tight angle of view at 500mm, and creative bird headshots become easy.
In this example, another egret behind the subject provided an all-white background, making the colorful bill and eye stand out artistically.

Do you ever dream of the perfect shot playing out before you? For example, a huge bull moose emerging from hemlocks into a clearing while walking over a bed of bright red huckleberries? This cooperative bull meant I didn't have to wake up from that dream.
As I said before, when many miles are on the wildlife photography hiking plan, the Canon RF 100-500mm F4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens is probably on my camera, the Canon EOS R5 in this case.
