I don’t have much experience using large telephoto optics. But the thing that as suprised me the mose about zoom lenses is that they are...

If the zoom is only slightly worse in each aspect I'd still choose it over a prime at least for birding
However a really good prime...

Speak for yourself! People most often do not deliberately mislead, especially here, but unfortunately deliberate misleading is the curse...

Let's face it, if they made a zoom that was the same optical quality, f-number, weight and cost as a prime, you would be crazy not to...

Not sure what a 500/5.6 would give me more than my RF100-500 but I guess Canon would have done his homework and made a decent business...

Yeah, that happened to me also. The animal was so close that only parts of it fit in the image.

I did a Pangolin safari in June 2025; highly recommend. Due to a childhood accident, I have limited strength in my left arm. So, I use a...

Are you illiterate or just stupid? Ever used an MFT camera? Apparently not.

Well, I guess we can all be a bit misleading. The OM 150-400 has a built in 1.25x TC, which you conveniently ignored. So it is...

Nothing wrong for choosing a lens at a lower price point. I used to use the 500 mm f4 over the 600 mm f4 due to cost, size and weight...

The 8 lbs is a bear, the Pangolin boat had seat-mounted gimbal heads which handled it well, but with another 2 lbs with the R1 or R3, I...

I have missed more shots by having 1.4x too long a focal length than spoiling a shot by not having 40% more focal length.

Built-in teleconverters are most likely always better than lens + TC from image quality perspective because they are optimized to a...

I seem to be the only person who chose the 500 over the 600 because of the price difference rather than size/weight. I was able to get...
