    Actually i would love a 100-600 but only if the optical quality stays the same or better and it will be still F5.6/6.3 at 400mm and 7.1...

    Wonder what improvements are possible though? 80-500? 100-600 4.5-8? 0.5x macro? Reduction in size to 1kg?

    Im afraid any aperture increase will be a significant size and weight increase and im not sure Canon will do that. The main selling...

    AlanF: thank you very much for the advice, it is really useful for me, because I have been shooting for a short time (a year with the...

    It's more nuanced than that. For difficult shots of birds or dragonflies in flight, I would use the RF 100-500mm (which I too highly...

    I have had the the R7, R5, R5ii and RF 100-500 and RF 200-800mm since they first came out, and have taken 100s of 1000s of bird photos...

    Optically the rf 100-500 is excellent. however using it with an extender is significantly annoying. It just won’t collapse completely. A...

    yes 1.3 EV exactly physically... yes, FF wins hands down in low light at weddings, take a little bird in the sun photographed with an...

    The difference would still be 1.3-stops worth of noise. ISO 6400 on the 85 MP FF sensor will still look like ISO 2500 on the 32 MP APS-C...

    I would love an RF-S 15-150mm to use with my R10 as a compact travel kit. The 18-150 is just not wide enough. I end up using my R8 with...

    RF24-300 F3.5-5.6 L IS USM RF50-400 F4-6.3 L IS USM both support extenders.
  • @zajicekpavel
    here we are at the heart of the problem. R5 will probably never have 80-85 MP, why? because then it would have the same pixel density as...

    I went out today Banded Demoiselle hunting and took the R 100-500mm on the R5ii. This is a crop of one of the images not downscaled. To...
