    In terms of third party lenses, I found over the years the following: Optical quality tended to be equivalent to the better non-L Canon...

    This is a BIS - Red Kite (R5ii + RF 200-800mm).

    IMO, Sigma is often first out of the gate. Then, some time later, Canon comes along and releases something that is typically better...

    I am not sure I understand to what the RF mount is superior... other mounts have pros and cons and their own areas of excellence, same...

    You can AF with the combination in Live View. It’s slow, but it works. Live view works at f/11 with the 2x TC as well.

    Interesting. I sort of thought it had to do something with that but i thought i'd at least be able to use central point. Shucks, so no...

    Sigma offers attractive Art lenses at select focal lengths but the assertion that they could motivate system-switching ignores optical...

    According to this table on shuttermuse, the 6D AF does not work with f8 (EF 100-400mm II f5.6 + 1.4 extender = f8).
  • neuroanatomist
    Durp, deleted my prior post because of course @P-visie is correct. I read R6, not 6D. The 6DII supports f/8 AF, the original 6D does...

    If you want better noise performance, you need a bigger sensor. For those who understand the relevant concepts, there’s not much more to...

    The biggest concern I have is: if the 20% increase in pixel density is true and a BSI sensor, I hope that the noise figure at higher...

    For some reason, only "MF" appears on my 6D top LCD, no AF activation on shutter. No attempt to focus. Tried mounting TC on lens, THEN...

    Why not a 50-200 (since I often use my 70-200 at 200mm) while also missing 50mm. :)
  • roby17269
    That's true about the 200 2 availability. I can only imagine that Canon did not make a lot of those. When I sold it on eBay it went...

    Plz give me an rf 50-150 f2.8 stm. The perfect companion to a wide angle when traveling

    Our RF 100-400mm are so much better, compare it at 300mm with the DO on the-digital-picture...

    I had one for a while. Bought it used and sold it a couple of years later for the same price that I had paid, essentially a free...

    One thing that would set it apart is the ability to extend the focal length further with TCs. For the target audience, that may be...

    The RF 600 f/4 would be the ideal lens for bird photography but it's super expensive and out of my price range (it's USD$14k here in...

    The R5ii has the reputation of having the fastest AF to lock on to a target of the A1ii/Z9/Z8 class. I saw this myself recently: So...

    The EF 200mm f2.0 LIS is a bit of a unicorn lens for me. Everytime I've had the cash in my bank account, none have been...

    Probably there are better alternatives now but im also sure the ring USM is not the same as 35 years ago. Probably was constantly...

    It's worth remembering that the weight of supertele lenses is to some extent non-negotiably related to the size of the front element...
