The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM Pros: Autofocus, sharpness, focal range, weight and handling Cons: Cost, and maybe only the white livery that for the photos I take must be more discreet and the window of the hood that often remains open, but they are 'quisquilie' Opinion: Taken after a year and a half of use of the RF100/400, which I recently sold for unused. Initially I fought to 'adapt' it to the R7 while on the R6 I had no problems. After some 'tips' read here on the forum I made custom settings and 'everything changed. I use it for birdlife and does its job excellently, fast in the MAF, very sharp even at full aperture and with the focus always active it does not lose the subject even in motion. I had to 'hide the white livery by buying a 3M film to be applied on the whole lens, I avoided putting it on the barrel of the zoom excursion for fear that it would get stuck inside. Practical use is well balanced, I use it freehand without the collar that I put only when I go out with the monopod, together with the machine it does not exceed 2 kg and compared to when I went around with the 5DMk3 / 7DMk2 and the Sigma 150/600 Sport is a real liberation. I also use it in combination with the RF 1.4x and I must say that the decay is imperceptible, maintains all the potential and with the R7 it is like having a 1200mm equivalent even if it becomes an f10 of maximum aperture. The stabilization allows you to take pictures of static subjects even at 1/30" holding the camera on a stable support and at 1/60" freehand. For the minimum focusing distance, very welcome for close subjects, I made 'semimacro' shots of excellent quality at maximum focal length. I had many doubts about the considerable expense but I must admit that compared to the RF100/400 and 'certainly better, while recognizing that the 100/400 RF is not bad at all for what it costs ... sent on August 07, 2023 |
 | Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM Pros: Weight and price on everything then also sharpness Cons: Dunno... I haven't found any yet Opinion: I had a 7DMk2 with Sigma 150/600 sport and a Canon 400mm f5.6 for birdlife. I switched to R6 and sold all the previous kit because I could no longer carry all that weight with me. It was almost natural, to make birdlife, take with the R6 the Canon 800mm f11 but then something was missing to take close-up photos (the 800 focuses at 5 meters abundant) and I took the RF 100/400 recommended to me by my trusted shopkeeper and I did not regret it at all. Later I added the R7 and then with a weight much lower than the previous kit I bring 2 camera bodies, an 800mm and the 100/400mm. This 'Zoom' is fast in the MAF, light and also very sharp with the right light. I make birdlife to my satisfaction and with the R7 and it becomes a 160/560 equivalent. I made comparisons with the photos taken with the old equipment and I think my shots are now definitely improved sent on December 12, 2022 |
