    I don't see that a 100-400+1.4x is different enough from the existing 100-500 to make sense. "Self defined superiority" hmm. Or charging...

    You are right. The bare Sony 100-400 f4.5 GM lens is priced at around USD 4,300. A Canon 100-400 f4.5 L lens with a built in 1.4X...

    Which is why OM Systems OM-1 mark II is my birding camera of choice. What Canon, Nikon and Sony do are of no interest.

    I sold my R5 just as it was announced that the R7II was not coming out until 2027! The R7II would be a perfect match to a 70-200 F2.8Z...

    Well they need no endurance so can be super pumped up for the very short bursts of game time between ad breaks whereas try keeping that...

    It also has the benefit of being half the weight, it thought about it while chasing swallows with the 100-500
