Opinion:And He finally joined my lenses!!! It'S been a long time around, yes... No... No.. And in the end, yes. Bought used but in excellent condition. Before the purchase I was frightened a bit ' weight since I would use it freehand. Weight that there is everything but that you can still manage (and in my case, despite the age...). Already used in different light conditions and the results have me more than satisfied. Crisp, fast AF, top stabilizer. With the EF 1.4 x III not affected by the AF ne for the sharpness, a nice 700 f 5.6. I had to buy a bigger backpack to be able to get us 2 5D4 with BG, the 100-400 L II, the 500 and the two multipliers, bottle of water and a sandwich... Here, let's say a 10kg of things... I'm glad I don't have to go. With this 500 and the 100-400 I'm covered to the top for what, as an amateur, I do.
Pros:crystal clear, very low weight (for a 500 f4), af, stabilizzore, construction
Cons:nobody
Opinion:Excellent lens from all points of view! compared to the previous model, it is much lighter - 3.2 kg are very few for a 500mm f / 4 and make it usable enough freehand, thanks to the excellent image stabilizer. The autofocus is lightning-fast and can be made even faster by using the focus limiter. The build quality is at the highest level and of course is weather sealed. In terms of sharpness, it is still better than the previous model using no multipliers both are perfect, but with the 1.4x multiplier 500 f / 4 II has a certain advantage, in particular on cameras with more dense sensor, and with the 2x advantage becomes evident. The new 500 + 2x is usable even at full aperture (f / 8), while with the previous version (2x + TC) had to close at least f / 11 to obtain a good sharpness. A good buy (although very expensive) for those dedicated to the photography of birds; the only dubOrganic may be the choice between the 500 and the 600 II II, which has the same characteristics of quality and strength but a slightly higher magnification (however, size and weight are higher).
Pros:Splendid optical quality optimized at full aperture with both a smooth lens and 1.4 x and 2x. Well distributed and reduced weight of 700 g compared to the previous version that allows the use freehand even with 1.4 x and 2x. With FF's latest generation fast and extremely precise autofocus with smooth lens and with both teleconverters.
Cons:With Canon 7DmkII The autofocus slows down appreciably with 2x even if third generation. With 1DXmkII or with 5DmkIV there is no slowdown. Like all Supertele is II also in this lens the focus ring does not allow disabling during auto focus, which would be preferable.
Opinion:After using a 300 2.8 for 25 years with the two dedicated multipliers, I switched to the 500 4.5 old and then to this second stabilized version: The weight is felt in prolonged use freehand, but the stabilizer helps and the number of sharp photos of birds in flight It is significantly higher than the duplicate 300 and also of the 500 4.5 old. The price is worth the expense considering that the sharpness is spectacular even with 2XIII at full opening: The results confirm the excellence of this optics in nature photography in our country, where hunting disorder and wild urbanization are among the most Invasive in the world.
Pros:Definition, contrast, faster autofocus with new multipliers 1.4 and 2.0 series III and above all less weight and better balance.
Cons:None: now the price has settled.
Opinion:Great paintings, not only from the shed: now, taking advantage of the lower weight and the best balance (the removal of the protective glass front was, therefore, crucial ..) you can use it sparingly, even freehand with more ease. For the rest follows in the characteristics of the already stratospheric vecchio.rnInsomma is a good buy!
Pros:AF speed, sharpness and precision, weight, function 'Preset Focus
Cons:I do not know
Opinion:Very difficult to be able to speak to this point in a balanced way. I used it two days in a row, 10 hours a day before acquistarla.rnQualità 'image beyond all desire, a precise blade for quality' awesome. Functions livellio and category such as storing a point of focus (function 'Preset) .rnIl selector distance focusing step includes well-balanced, I use it when no problema.rnL'ho Full tested with the telextender 1.4X series III as' excellent, fast AF and stabilizer yet efficient ... "almost" as averlo.rnIl result is 700 mm for highly efficient focale.rnIl wonderful weight, a perspective like this, F4, could not weigh less than this', although the 3.2kg remain an important number, but the quality is not "light". Compare it to his brother Nikon and you give yourself every spiegazione.rnLo use with a one-foot lightweight and slim, giving it the necessary support, to use it on birds in flight we still want to arms, is up to you decidere many clicks can you do before stancarvi.rnAnch'io I preferred the 600 F4 to the size and weight of the latter, from the slits of a shed with 500 managed to come out with the tube, often with a 600 No, because excessive diameter dell'ottica.rnIl price, what to say ... It's crazy to unbalanced, but if you really have the desire to experience out of the ordinary, and managed to convince vs psyche that "yesterday you got the money for If on a sidewalk, "I invite everyone to take this" amazing "goal is to let go of any alternative !!!
Pros:Ultra sharp, micro-contrast at the highest livelli.rnStabilizzatore 4 stops, allowing shots to stationary subjects with unthinkably lenti.rnAbituato times in the first round, this is a minimum piuma.rnMaf that earns a meter compared to vecchio.rnCon the extenders is great already full aperture.
Cons:There is a zoom, price.
Opinion:Start by saying that I was a satisfied user of the model series 1, but this is a total of 2 steps higher. It has everything you could ask for in a big white lens, with the added weight and maneuverability of a sorprendenti.rnHa A resolution crazy, as demonstrated by the fact that with the 2x to f8 is very clear and the way is' ready for optics sensors ff ultra-dense. rnHo advantage of the price below average for this time to exchange your old, with 2,000 Euros I brought it to casa.rnLo highly recommend it to those who can afford, along with the 300 II and 600 II is the best for wildlife.
Pros:Sharpness, blur, weight, build quality, AF speed, image stabilization.
Cons:Price
Opinion:Can not find a fault with this model of 500mm that enables you to work more and freehand view the impressive lightness and excellent stabilization. The sharpness is outstanding at every aperture, and also from the graphs mtf seems that this is the best ever created in house Canon optics. The autofocus is also a splinter multipliers fitted (I speak of the series III) and rarely miss a shot even in low light. I preferred the 600mm f / 4 for lightweight portability, the largest field of view (much to the limit, there are multipliers). rnL'ho preferred the 400mm f/2.8 for greater focus and why having a 300/2.8 I already had almost a duplicate and above all I would have been "discovered" in case I needed a very long focal length. I preferred to 200-400 f/4-5.6 for greater brightness to 500mm but mostly because I use it often coupled to the 300/2.8 so I do not feel the need.
Pros:Optical quality, AF, 4-stop stabilizer, materials / strength, weight.
Cons:Size and weight.
Opinion:I start with the "weight" that I mentioned is among the qualities that between defects. Why? It 's the lightest 500 ever built by Canon and you could not do better. However, for those who have never had a super-telephoto weight can be a problem. Even in air travel is used wisely to avoid problems with the hand luggage. RNLA build quality is excellent and the AF is fast and accurate even with multipliers series III.rnMi expected IQ (image quality) high, but I was still pleasantly impressed. At least on the 1DX your chances of getting pushed while maintaining very high quality crop is large (greater than the other lenses that I used). RnRitengo similar quality that is common to all new and super-tele.rnConsiglio surely this ottica.rnIl current price is about 9,000 , 00 Euro (depends on the options of purchase). mI direct competitors are the 400 2.8 II and zooming 200-400 F4 with 1.4 integrated.
