With "only" 300mm focal length, the Canon RF100-300mm f/2.8 L IS USM may seem a bit short for wildlife photography. And even though it was certainly designed primarily for sports photographers, I was extremely interested in this telephoto lens from the start. In this video, I'd like to share my experiences with you and discuss sharpness (with and without a converter), autofocus, image stabilizer, and other practical aspects.

The partially stacked sensor, the significantly improved autofocus, and a frame rate of up to 30 frames per second make the Sony Alpha 7 V a very intriguing camera.
