Best telephoto lens for the canon eos r6 v?

For the R6 V, I'd start with the Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM. It covers a lot of reach in one lens, which suits wildlife and sport without carrying a pile of primes.

If you shoot in dim light or want a faster lens, the Canon RF 100-300mm f/2.8L IS USM is the one to look at. For a shorter reach that still works for portraits and events, try the Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM. If you need the most reach, the Canon RF 400mm f/2.8L IS USM is the serious option, though it's a big lens.

Full-frame telephotos are larger than their APS-C equivalents, so think about how much you're willing to carry. The sensor sizes page covers that trade-off, and wildlife and sport has more on choosing reach.
