    What about a 300 Prime as they dont have a new one as the old one is a bit long in the tooth ? and it was a cracking lens They have...

    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...

    Call me crazy, and I’m not in the market for these lenses, so take my opinion with the healthy skepticism it deserves, but for me, I...

    If Canon released a 500 mm f4 DO I would likely trade-in the 400 mm f2.8 for it.
  • J
    I like the 100-300 mm f2.8, but once you add the lens hood, lens coat, 2x TC it tips the scale at almost 7 lbs which get a bit heavy...

    A 500/4 lens with DO could be mighty attractive. Heck, spice it up a bit more with a 1.4x. As much as I weighed getting that Nikon...
