The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Light, Sharp, Fast, excellent colors, double motor for AF, top stabilizer.
Cons:At the beginning you immediately say that it is expensive, then you use it, uses of its peers that cost a tenth and you understand that it is worth what you pay it, I state that from the list you go down a lot if you buy it in the store (15/18%), then it is clear it is not a lens that you buy at unieuro ........ but it's worth them all.
Opinion:After abandoning the Canon Reflex system, I throw myself headlong into the new technology. The choice, despite the skepticism, is rewarded and right. I go crazy and buy this lens, beautiful from the packaging when you unboxing to when you use it in the field. What can I say, smooth is a very fast AF blade with double focusing motor, sharpness really at the top, if you learn to use it becomes impressive in armoring a subject and follow it without missing a shot. The focus preset once set adjusts the focusing distance and stores it so when you return to that point just move the appropriate ring to have everything in focus in a nanosecond, good and perhaps a little far from the AE lock button to keep the focus steady when you are in AI SERVO, the manual focus used together with the AF adjusts the focus on the subject to the thousandth. Mounted on the R3 is a real bomb, I tried to print in 55x70 format a photo of a woodpecker made in the rain and under the plants, without using noise reduction or image alteration programs, I got an excellent image above my expectations. Conclusion....... just beautiful!!!!
Cons:Definitely the cost, but 'I was lucky because I managed to snatch a great discount
Opinion:I have the lens for a few months, excellent of course, beautiful colors gives very sharp images, excellent blurred, very "battered" as I like. To give you an example I showed my photos to a person passionate about bird photography but not very experienced, I had not told him that I had changed lenses, and he the first thing he asked me is if I had changed camera or lens because he noticed the photos "different" from those I took with the 500 F4 II. I must say that it is very light, with the R3 I can do even 2/3 hours without using the monopoiede. I noticed that the weight is felt by adding the tlc especially the 2x. I come from the 500 F4 II, very sharp but here we are talking about 100mm "extra reach" that are fundamental for those like me who do birdlife. As for the AF speed thanks to the 2 engines, I would not be able to evaluate it because I honestly did not perceive differences with the 500 F4 II.
Pros:Weight, stabilization, sharpness, minimum focusing distance and dual motor are the strengths
Cons:Apart from the price, the only drawback I can find is the increased battery consumption due to the double motor.
Opinion:At this point everyone can draw their own conclusions. In my opinion, as more than one has asked, the purchase of the RF 600 deserves to be considered if you want to have the top of the current mirrorless system at Canon. The lens works excellently and produces excellent images, especially smooth and with the 1.4X. The photos with 2X, as always using this type of extender, lose something in terms of sharpness but the results that can be obtained are still excellent as long as you use it when experience tells you that it is the case to do it ..
