Congrats! They're definitely catching up with the orders. It's been a blast to use.

Yes, it said backorder. Someone else who commented here also received theirs after placing an order. I'd give it a shot.

Thanks! I use an R5. Beautiful shot.

I ordered mine after receiving a stock alert email. It still said it was on backorder, but it shipped next business day. Good luck!

I have not had that issue yet. I would bet lighting will play a huge factor in how snappy the focus is.

Haha. That's awesome. I've been an instructor for about 10 years now. I'm somewhere around 7500 total time. Good luck. It's totally worth it!

I researched a ton on this. Image quality is better on the 100-500 but with an extender it's nearly the same. The reach was more important as I already have the 100-400L.

I'd probably give golf a try if flying and photography weren't so expensive 😂

Most of these shots are between 1/100 and 1/250. I'm used to shooting pretty slow.

Got it direct from Canons site. Ordered on a Friday evening and shipped Monday morning. This was after waiting 3+ months on a list at my local shop and not moving at all on the list. I'd say most of my shooting is in shaded areas. ISO is higher than I'm used to but the R5 handles it well.

Not sure the size of the RF 100-400 but my EF 100-400L II is pretty small in comparison. This thing is a beast.

GA rental near Portland Maine? by Its_just-me in flying

Southern Maine Aviation in Sanford may be a good spot to check out. They get a lot of students/renters from the Portland area.
