canon_500_f4-5 Canon EF 500mm f/4.5 L USM

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, colors, AF, weight (I use it completely handheld), extender compatible

Cons: AF in very dark situations. Weight lens hood, the question of spare parts if it breaks

Opinion: I state that I have been using it for 2 years, purchased by a user here on the forum. The images are gorgeous, the autofocus is fast even with extenders. On 5dsr the autofocus is very fast, I'm also using it with r6 Mark 2 and adapter and it's a rocket. Only in certain conditions, at first light, does the autofocus struggle to focus. Without a lens hood you can use it freehand (depending on the arms you have), I spend my days up and down the mountains with it. Which is impossible for the series 1 (which I have had the opportunity to try several times) which reaches almost 4kg for the stabilizer. In addition, the image quality is not very different. At open apertures it is sharp and the blur is really gorgeous. This lens is 30 years old and is even sharper, brighter and faster than many zooms used today in photographic hunting, If you have a low budget and need mm for your photos look for one! Oh and as for the lack of spare parts: has one of these guys ever really broken?

canon_1-4x_v3 Canon EF 1.4x III

Pros: A visible, albeit not important, increase in quality is gained compared to pp crop. Weight & Size

Cons: AF on older optics loses some polish

Opinion: Used with 6d Mark 2 and 5dsr with Canon 400 5.6 and 500 4.5. /. Shooting with optical viewfinder./ With the 400 speed and af accuracy lose very little on either body. On the 500 with 6d mark 2 if you want to refocus from a near object to a distant one you often have to go step by step approaching a little at a time, which makes it slow in naturalistic, if you don't have a precise composition to make. The situation changes a lot on 5dsr where paired with the 500 the af remains much smoother and more usable. Surprisingly, the 5dsr's dense sensor holds up very well to an extender. /. Live view shooting./ All combinations with the 1.4x III benefit from live view shooting in terms of speed and accuracy at the expense of all the advantages of time and precision that tracking a subject in the viewfinder can give.
