A serious question: How much lighter do people think this lens could be vs. the RF 100-300 mm f2.8+ 2X TC.

The official weights of the RF 100-300 mm f2.8 is 2590 grams and the RF 2x TC is 340 grams for a net official weight of 2930 grams or 6.5 lbs.

I am hoping they are able to shave off 500 grams or 1.1 lbs so the 300-600 mm f5.6 L is 5.4 lbs. Maybe even down to 5 lbs?

Very nice with the reflection.

Thanks, Click!
I found this turtle while watching birds. Since the camera was set for 15fps, electronic shutter, I inadvertently took way too many shots of a non-moving turtle.
Once home I sat there sorting based on which of the which 15 reflections I preferred.

Panning shots of race cars and motorcycles are a real problem. I pan with the car or bike with a 1/60 or 1/125 shutter speed to maximize background blur except the blur is tilted.

Nearly all cameras suffer rolling shutter under those conditions. The Sony A9iii with its global shutter is the best for you.

Actually Canon is probably having an Intel moment these days. Intel had it too good in the early 2010's, they were at the top of the food chain in many aspects. 15 years later they are the laughing stock of the tech industry. And being complacent and only releasing iterative products with no apetite to take some risk or do anything different, just status-quo.

I don't want to invest in a brand that feels like just because they are doing well now in this situation they can keep doing this forever. I spent too much in my Canon gear to be stuck in the loser corner 10 years down the line

with any luck i will still be using my current gear 10 years down the line. knocking on wood, all of the canon DSLR gear I have purchased is still operational (even the EF50/1.4 not so L)

Another painted turtle. Seems I can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting one of these View attachment 225620

This morning, I came across one.

About 30 minutes later, I returned to discover 22 of them on the same log (unfortunately no photo).By any chance did you discard that dead cat in my direction?
If so, Thanks.

Chili con carne is Tex-Mex.
It did not exist when Texas was still part of Mexico.
It is US cuisine derived from regional Tejano Mexican cuisine.

I can warmly (pun intended) recommend a habanero chili. I cook it at least 4 times a year with my own habaneros. Can't get enough of this stuff!

Rolling shutter can become problematic where there is fast movement. But, that is the situation where you usually need fast shutter speeds and that is where there aren't any problems from shutter shock if you use mechanical shutter, or you can use EFCS.

Panning shots of race cars and motorcycles are a real problem. I pan with the car or bike with a 1/60 or 1/125 shutter speed to maximize background blur except the blur is tilted.

Lovely images. Very nice bokeh.

Nicely done, Alan. I especially like the first one.

The RF 600/11 and 800/11 I am not sure we will see more of either. I think those have been effectively replaced by the RF 200-800.

I don't think we'll see more of them but the price difference means the 200-800 is definitely not a replacement!

Spotted Flycatcher flying around (RF 200-800mm @ 800mm on R5ii).

AlanF · Aug 31, 2025

Spotted Flycatcher, 20m away. I put the 1.4x on the RF 200-800mm to 1120mm on R5ii to squeeze out some more detail.

Especially women deserve much praise for "invisible" heroism!

The myth was put out that our pilots were so good because they could see better in the dark by eating carrots but it was a cover to hide we had airborne radar. However, the myth was sponsored by the Ministry of Food that we would be able to see better in the blackout at night. Carrots were also a substitute for sugar, which was in short supply, in cakes. I like raw carrots - move over Bugs Bunny.

It was also the heroism of the ordinary people - because of the blockade, we had to eat home grown vegetables of which potatoes and carrots were the most plentiful.

I apologize to all carrots who feel offended by my statement .

I'll join you (provided you mean Nantaises ameliorees).

Even though, for some strange reason, I've started a few months ago to dislike orange as a colour...

But I can only hope Brits eat the "Nantaise amelioree"carrot! (While I grow and eat "Hurst Green Shaft" peas...)
