Probably going to send this great 2X to one of the big resellers first of the week. If anyone is on the fence, talk to me. Thanks.
I have had the 800f11 for about 1 1/2 years. Very good for perched birds ect. For me, not as good in flight, due more to the length, not the f11. I got a 100-500 6 months ago, and also added the RF1.4. I'm keeping both, as they have their niches. When the 800 and 600 were first announced, I said no way. I was wrong. The 800 with 1.4 can be very sharp if the photographer does his/her job. The 100-500 is a better lens, and has a larger focus area. Also when I bought, almost 3X the price. I am keeping both, plan on going to an eagle nest early in the morning and use the 800 with 1.4 on a tripod. It is forecast to be cloudy, but I have had decent results with that combo before and the eaglets are growing. Big number of folks knocking it, have not actually used it.Good luck with your decision. If interested , you can see some of my results with both the 800 and 100-500, most with 1.4 attached at my flickr page. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dj63401/with/51958018116/
On my R5, I almost always leave the rear screen closed and use the viewfinder for everything. I leave the setting that auto switches to the rear screen when you remove your eye from the viewfinder and viewfinder goes dark. Helps extend battery life. I do use the rear screen at home changing settings, checking setting, updating firmware, ect.
Got it. Will send tracking number when I have it. THANKS!
Thank You. I have messaged you the info.

Wow! Prices on ebay for sold ones are ALL over the place. From $108 to over $700. Good luck selling it. You have a nice lens there. 😀
You are correct, as there are many different models in this focal length. This lens was released end 2016 or early 2017 and reviews and our results show it as a great lens. I did look at ebay when coming up with our pricing.
Selling our very lightly used Canon EF 70-300 F4-5.6 IS II USM lens. $440 shipped US/48. Will accept personal check, ship after clears, or Paypal. Bought new Nov 2018 from B & H Photo. My wife used this excellent lens as an upgrade from the 70-250 kit lens that came with her 77D. There are many Canon 70-250/300 zoom lens made, and until you go to the L lens at more than twice the price, this is the best they have made. She was very careful with this and it is in mint condition. Never out in rain/ dust or any adverse conditions. Comes with box it came in, Manual, both caps, Vello Lens Hood. Any questions, please ask.
$325 shipped US/48. Extremely good condition with both caps. I can not find any chips or marks on it. I used mostly with a Canon 300mm, but have sold that and don't need this very good 2X extender. I will accept personal check, shipping after clearance or Paypal. SN 7200001055, which online charts say means a Dec 2018 date of manufacture. I bought in Oct 2019. Ask any questions. Thanks.
Paul,
Thanks, again. I "think" I read a post of your a few years about sRGB and made sure that is what I use going forward.
Keep the topics coming!
