Need some experienced input to my decision-making regarding my plan to upgrade my tele-lens.
Currently I am on a Canon 6D Mk II and a Tamron 150-600mm 1.G.
Mostly used for wildlife - e.g. birds of prey in flight and Kingfishers.
I am looking for faster, sharper, better focusing - I often find my photos 'almost in focus' and 'almost sharp'.
Can not afford / can not carry the largest big whites. Find 400mm DO II attractive and within limits.
Have read a lot about it - mostly very positive.
Will it perform well on 6D II ? and with 1.4 TC III ?
Also within a year I expect to own a new R-camera (R5 or R6 - depending on how well they perform).
This should probably affect my tele-considerations.
I know that an EF-tele will perform fine on adapter.
Still: Will I regret investing in an EF big white, once I am on the RF-system, and when RF-system offers a variety of RF-tele-options - perhaps with added new benefits?
For example: When on R5 or R6 would the new RF 100-500mm be a better option?
I am aware of the new F/11 RF-teles - interesting, but probably not my first choice.
Thank you in advance for any insightful input.
