Canon 100-500mm Lens - First Impressions

Janine managed to get hold of an RF Canon 100-500mm Lens and took it with her on a trip from The Chobe to The Okavango Delta and The Kalahari. She paired it with the Canon R6 compared it to her trusty Canon 100-400 mark 2 and gives her first impressions of its performance.

Janine was travelling on this safari with her client, Rimma Aronov, who was shooting with a Canon 100-500 RF lens on her Canon R5 as well as her canon 1Dx Mark ii and 600mm f4 fixed prime lens. Janine asked her to compare the two setups while they were in the bunker hide in Dinaka in the Kalahari.
