Trying to decide now if I should sell my Tamron 100-400mm for this Canon. Probably wait to see the weight as I pretty much only use it for cityscapes.

Nice ! Are you able to share the same info for the 16mm?According to the cache on the Amazon product page, "RF100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM" has a minimum shooting distance of 88cm at 200mm, a maximum shooting magnification of 0.41x at 400mm, and an image stabilization effect of 6 steps (R5 / R6) / 5.5. Stage (R / RP), teleconverter RF1.4x / RF2x compatible, seems to be nano USM.
Sorry but Nokishita hasn’t posted it yet. When they do I’ll post here!Nice ! Are you able to share the same info for the 16mm?
Teleconverter compatibility is a pleasant surprise! I wonder if it's for the full range or just a subset, like the 100-500.
Thanks !Sorry but Nokishita hasn’t posted it yet. When they do I’ll post here!
Wow, the 100-400 looks very tempting to me! Especially the 0.41 max magnification, and nano usm. Teleconverter compatibility is also big plus. Price is not bad either, just hoping IQ to be good enough. And I think it is. It is slow, as expected, but this keeps the size/price/weight down.
This lens makes great sense to me! The size, the f2.8 wow!A 16mm makes little sense for a FF kit lens, or even for an APS-C kit for that matter. I think kits with a prime lens are a tough sell these days, regardless of price. Better a low cost highly compact zoom, like a 28-85 f/4-6.3.
Thank you for sharing! Again, assuming IQ is fine, the 100-400 is most attractive at this price point given that it has IS and USM instead of STM. I guess there would be limitations to shooting moving birds, but it should work well in good lighting conditions - I hope.From Nokishita

I think so too, after reading through The Digital Picture Bryan’s review of RF 14-35, I’m really disappointed with the distortionI might get this instead of the RF 14-35, either way it would replace an old 17-35 f2.8 in my bag, I can't see the downside.
f8 is a bit too much
So you want IS and a dedicated control ring for $299 - dream on pal!Nice to see the possibility of another low cost RF lens. If the price is that low it's unlikely to have IS, which seems consistent with earlier information regarding the lens description. At such a low price, the lens is also unlikely to have a separate control ring.
So another lens along the same lines as the RF 50mm f/1.8. If the lens lacks both IS and a dedicated control ring, I'll likely pass.
