I just spent the last week teaching a photo workshop at the Desert Retreat near Marana, AZ. The birds are most cooperate, and so are some of the squirrels. I like making wildlife images when I also get a reflection. Soon we go to Laguna Seca for more bird photography and then back to Indiana for still more spring migrant birds. Our web site is fully updated with our tours now and our next Kenya tour is sold out. All of these images were taken with a Canon R5 and the 100-500mm lens. I keep hoping for news of a Canon R1 or R5 II and a 200-500mm lens but still nothing has been announced......

As expected from you, a working pro, beauties. I would care less about a 200-500mm lens with the photos that 1-5 produces unless it was a straight f4 or even...

Thanks all. The reason I want the new Canon 200-500mm is it is faster and can use a 1.4x teleconverter better while still providing decent lens speed. That faster zoom would come in handy for the bird photos I take using my floating blind as reach is more crucial. I do have an ebook on reflection pool photography and will be expanding it great over the next year as I do reflection pool photos at my homes in Idaho and now a place to winter in Indiana too.
