A long review of the lens on Fstoppers:

https://fstoppers.com …00mm-f28l-usm-lens-633543

I finally had a little chance to test the 2x for AF performance. This combo performs very well with minimal loss of AF speed. It stays locked on very well. I tested it with a mallard flying by me ( poor light with higher ISO ) grabbed on and followed the bird and next was Kenzie running then jumping over a log. I do this a lot with her and it performed like my lenses with no TC on. It perform like my RF 400mm ( maybe even a bit faster but no testing just a feeling) I personally did not buy the lens for using the 2x all the time but would not hesitate to use it in any scenario. I feel it replaces my 200-400mm and the 100-500mm. I really like the internal zoom over the 100-500mm and the weight over the 200-400mm. The detail in outstanding with the 1.4x and the 2x. This will make a very versatile travel lens from 100mm to 600mm. A couple people asked can it replace the 70-200mm, yes due to image quality ( they are both great) but no to the size difference. In my opinion they are still two different lenses with different purposes. If I had to only pick one then yes the 100-300 because of TC compatibility. I feel Canon did a great job with this lens.

Here are a few with the 2x

This is similar to the above shot on different days but I do prefer the look of that f2.8 background. This is the main reason I wanted this lens for her.

I have expressed a serious interest with my friendly dealer here in the UK but nothing doing as yet. I have sold my IDx Mk 3 and all my EF kit so I can actually just about afford it. In the meantime I shall just soldier bravely on with the 70-200 and 100-500. Perhaps the 200-500 will be available soon instead.

I believe that this is a new article from Canon UK:

'Photographing track athletes with a Canon super-telephoto zoom'

https://www.canon.co.u​k …f2.8l-is-usm-first-shoot/

As an aside, I just shot a Highland Games competition, primarily using my EF 300 f/2.8 II.
I would have loved to have had the versatility of the RF 100-300.
A lot of times, 300mm was too long, and I could not 'zoom with my feet'.
