Hello,

Anyone has some EF 400 mm f5.6L vs RF 100-500 4.5-7.1 L photo bokeh samples?

I really don't care about IS, zoom, etc. I just care about bokeh because 400mm f5.6L is already an awesome lens but I find bokeh a little busy. Is RF lens at 400-500 the same? I would LOVE to see the differences to know if I should upgrade or not (it's expensive!!).

The only reason to me is if bokeh is more creamy.

Any help?
 
I would go on Facebook and join the Canon 100-500 page. There are ample examples of photos at 7.1 f stop, and then jidge for yourself. I used it last sunday night at a soccer game and returned it. The noise was nuts at 25600 iso.
