That's really impressing for such a lens. (y)
nokishita vs. CanonRumors, let's gooo!
I am doomed!
Thats nice! My old one had 1,2m I think.
Only 700g too!
Price tip: 1500ā¬ or near to 1700ā¬ Not those 1300$ here...
~1500ā¬ would be around 50% of the f2.8
I have corrected the post. I'm sorry about that.
I agree about the price but i think most of the people will get the F4 version because it's smaller and lighter.
Altough i expected the weight to be closer to 500g than 700. Its not that much lighter than the 2.8 version.
Well, fortunately, I am not traveling any place any time soon, but when I start traveling again, this may be too tempting as a second telephoto lens when traveling with a supertelephoto or just trying to travel light.
But, with that price, and all the moves to mirrorless this past year, I can wait for another year, for NEXT black Friday. And just keep the 24-105 on the R for now!
When we tracked R5 shipments, B&H was among the slowest for fulfilling pre-orders. Adorama was much quicker in average delivery for some reason (they also had a fraction of the B&H orders reported, which might have been the key factor, if they both got similar inventory in). The Canon store did well, not as quick as Adorama at first, but was faster for later on-backorder orders. Not to say it'll be different this time.
At the moment, I own the absolute magnificent EF 100-400mm II and I'm going to keep it until the backorders have cleared and the MSRPĀ“s drop. It'll probably take till 2022, but at one point I have to decide:
1. keep EF 100-400mm
2. get the RF 100-500mm (sell: EF 100-400mm)
3. get the RF 70-200mm (sell: EF 100-400mm)
4. get the RF 70-200mm and the RF 100-500mm Kind a love that option but my wallet hates it
