Excellent price on the lens, though it's very slow at f/8.

Great if you're shooting from a tripod for non-moving subjects. Otherwise, you'll find yourself needing to compensate with faster shutter speeds and higher ISOs. For newer models like the R8, that's feasible. For older ones like the RP, you'll find it a bit more challenging to get an excellent-looking shot without compromises.

Thanks, I was waiting for it to get back below $400. It's a sharp long lens for outdoor use that won't break the bank. Canon has other spendy options for those who say it's not fast enough at F8.

These typically dont come with hoods right? Have to buy canon or third party?

Correct, only L glass comes with lens hoods.

Im having analysis paralysis, stuck between adapting and keeping my 150-600C sigma vs 100-500 or this until a mark II version of the 100-500 comes out

Too bad I missed this one. Ill be watching as more should be available by Christmas. I do have the RP camera but think this can be worth getting.

I use this lens on my R7 to shoot pictures of eagles from a kayak, either still or flying over. It's an awesome lens for the price.
