Canon RF 100-300mm f2,8 L IS USM

The autofocus locks onto birds in flight so fast I’ve stopped missing shots. The image stabilization makes handheld shooting at 300mm feel rock-solid, even in lower light.

Shot a whole indoor volleyball tournament at 1/1000s without pushing past ISO 3200 — the f/2.8 across the entire zoom range is worth every bit of the weight. Autofocus locked onto faces even through the net, and the sharpness wide open honestly surprised me.

The constant f2.8 through the whole zoom range is a game changer for indoor sports, and the autofocus locks onto moving subjects almost instantly on my R5 II. Only gripe is the weight, my arm was done after a couple hours handheld. Sharpness wide open is genuinely impressive though.
