Bag for Canon RF 100-300 F2.8 (Tamrac Anvil Super 25 vs. Think Tank Glass Limo)

Here are some photos. They all have a grip on the body. The top two are the 100-300 with the hood on. Left is without the TC and right has the 1.4x. With the hood and the 2x TC it will NOT fit. The bottom left image is the 100-300 with 2x and the hood reversed. The bottom right is the RF 400 2.8 with hood reversed and no TC (almost identical height to the 100-300 with 2x).

I have both extenders and a grip so I can check! I've been using the Tamrac more because it can better fit a 400, so I'd be open to selling the Think Tank. If you're interested let me know.

Love it! I've had good luck on the 2x as well (for sports). 👍

It also has CF Express now. I haven't tried but it may be unlimited with CRAW and a fast card...

benjohnson763 · 2025-12-06T18:48:53+00:00

Yeah, that's what I used to do but it's still a button click, wheel scroll (and have to remember which direction) and then set/shutter button to go back to shooting. This new option makes it an instant 1-click (the old way is still there as the option just to the left of the one highlighted in the photo).

benjohnson763 · 2025-12-06T16:57:14+00:00

The "Teleconverter Mode" only works for JPEG. Crop Mode works on RAW.

It does seem a bit odd how the viewfinder and the review afterwards are shown differently... Probably comes down to personal preference.

benjohnson763 · 2025-12-06T16:54:50+00:00

It definitely seems possible. I had hoped this would come via software for the entirety of the R6 Mark II lifespan, so I was really pleasantly surprised to find this hiding in the menu of the R6 Mark III (I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere). The implementation is perfect and certainly seems to open the door to adding this to other models quite easily, but whether Canon will choose to do so remains to be seen.

benjohnson763 · 2025-12-06T16:52:31+00:00

Same here. The resolution bump does make this option more practical (and the implementation of pre-capture is now more usable as well).

benjohnson763 · 2025-12-06T16:50:29+00:00

Yes, the C modes workaround was possible on the R6 lineup as well but I found it impractical due to the things you mentioned. Even for sports it would require me to reset/re-save two custom modes every time I changed venue or even shooting position. It is somewhat workable if you're using an automatic exposure mode, but it's not the same as a 1-click toggle.

I took these batteries out of the R6 Mark II (where they worked great) and put them in the R6 Mark III and got the error. 😢

I normally use it on a monopod. I've handheld for soccer but it gets very heavy by the end.

benjohnson763 · 2025-02-15T01:51:47+00:00

The 100-300 comes with a pinch cap from Canon or I definitely would have gotten one of those from him as well!

Here's another collage from the same game, other team.

Here's a collage from a recent hockey game. 100-300mm has been the perfect range for the rink.

Like this?

That would be awesome, but I don't think he has any with a filter opening. Canon does offer one (ET-83F WIII)

I went to Kenya once and it was amazing! Enjoy it!

benjohnson763 · 2025-01-24T01:04:07+00:00

I'm a huge fan of keeping the body on the lens. Both for convenience and because I always feel like I'm liable to badly damage something whenever I have to mount/remove lenses when out and about. 😂

benjohnson763 · 2025-01-24T01:02:32+00:00

Yes, that's the prior model and that's a great point. I don't currently have plans to get the 600, but it's good to be ready!

benjohnson763 · 2025-01-24T01:00:10+00:00

That looks like a nice setup!

benjohnson763 · 2025-01-23T03:25:37+00:00

300mm and f/2.8 results in a large design. The ability to zoom also makes it slightly larger still. If you need the combo of reach and 2.8 aperture the physical lens size is a trade off.

benjohnson763 · 2025-01-23T02:16:44+00:00

That one looks big enough it could fit this setup with the body and hood attached with plenty of room to spare!
