Following @Trevors lead. 😊
Camera: R5 C
Lens EF 70 ~ 300 USM II

I've owned this lens for 6 yrs.
I think this demonstrates the difference in IQ between L and non L glass.

Magnificent photos! You show both the modern and old architecture of Europe.
Story: My friend is a British ex-pat. His family lives in a house built in the 1600s. Met a family who went to a church in Germany; church was built in the 1600s.

Who says you need wide angle to do architectural work - particularly effective for castles! I really like the EF 70-300 IS USM MkII. I was torn very much between keeping that or the L version when I began my downsizing, and in the end the L won out. The optics and build are great and the focus is blazing fast. It also worked really well with the R5 and R6 when I tried it on them.
That said, the gear goes so far, the rest is down to the photographer, and your skill is apparent in these images!

Thank you both. I purchased this lens on its release and used it with a T6s. It was well received by the industry and except for being a little soft at edges when wide open it does a very well. You have to peep pretty hard to see it. Its compact, lightweight and great for travel. Its also very affordable. I choose to highlight it after @Trevors wonderful L Series showcase. The lens performed well, and allowed me to reach subjects some up to 500 yrds away. It has a lot of life left, but has been replaced with a RF 100 ~ 400 and 100 ~ 500.

You are making me miss Germany! I was stationed in Mannheim from 1986 to 1988 during my Army service. Got to take a lot of photos using a Minolota X-370 film camera., especially in Heidelberg. The base had a good photo lab for me to do my processing with a German who taught me a lot about photography and processing. I plan on going back sometime in the future and will make sure my EF 70-300mm f4.0-5.6 USM II lens goes with me.

Thanks Guys
Great advice and photographs. Just where I'm heading- I hope.
I'm a Yorkshire man - renowned for being "careful" with their money - so hanging on for a Black Friday deal. But it'll be on my eos90d very soon.
Really appreciate the support you guys give.
Thanks

Wow, these are delicious photos. The kind you just keep staring at because the vibrance and tone are just popping out of the screen at you. I've never been to Europe or seen any real castles but now I really really want to. Thank you for these marvelous pictures!

My lens will hopefully delivered over the weekend. No Black Friday deals - but hey thats life, and compared to the Ls it's a bargain.
