You see a lot through this lens .Regardless of income bracket I believe strongly everyone has a right to have at least 1 kid.
Any succeeding children should have parents be responsible enough to be able to provide for their most basic of physiological needs of food, water, shelter, sleep, healthcare and clothes.
This is most especially true for households making less than $8,000/year or much less less than $5,000/year. The later of which was the price of the EF 200 when I bought one.
If any parent can barely manage to do that for that sole child then dont have any further.
They'll end up asking hand outs from their siblings, relatives, friends and neighbors. This problem only multiply as they multiply.
If anyone can afford it and send their kids to college then go for it but if the folks can barely feed themselves then stop at 1.
Going back to the lens I look forward to the RF equivalent. It will produce exceptional photos.
Looking back it's more a rental than an actual purchase.
In my past... it's a purchase I'd gladly skip
I'd do what smart people would do. Ignore.
I think of this as a public service for those on the fence for a purchase.
Internet squatters will steal your work. So is it really worth posting it online or even a buy?
I wish someone pointed it out to me in my 20s so I wouldnt waste my time and money with a bunch of social justice warriors who are going after "evil corp" "fighting the good fight" when the real culprit of habitat destruction and flora/fauna extinction are their next door neighbors producing demand by having more than 2 kids.
Think breeding like rabbits of 6 or more offspring.
Kind of balances out over here. We had five kids because so many aren’t having any.
Don’t worry. We finally figured out what caused it and we put a stop to that.
But we’ve fed them, clothed them, saved for there college. They all get great marks at school, play musical instruments (orchestra, band, piano). The oldest is pre-med in college. I think in the end they’ll be net producers.
I disagree with too little depth of field, I sometimes do portraits and lifestyle shoots with the person at a distance and smaller in the frame (like walking along a shoreline or in a downtown environment) and at a distance it really helps to have a very shallow depth of field for separation.I don't get this lens. Too heavy, too short, too little depth of field, too big, and too expensive. I'm sure others love it, but I can't see any situation where I would want this lens.
I just read something two days about how the birth rate is declining and it’s a concern because we have the largest and still growing elderly population and not enough younger earners contributing to the social security. This is in the United States not sure about worldwide. Personally I think Thanos had the right idea.I'd do what smart people would do. Ignore.

People suck, basically.Honestly not really that over the top. I have cerebral palsy and I have had other "birders" nearly knock me down while trying to capture images of a bird in a rare location.
If people are willing to shove a handicapped person to get a photograph of a bird then they certainly will steal a photograph.
Which is exactly why I pretty much gave up on any organized "birding". The rudeness is astounding.
One of my acquaintances put it very nicely: "people" is a four-letter word.People suck, basically.

Photography in general in most cases are high risk and low pay. This is especially true for weddings/events during the past 52 weeks.I have had the EF 800 f5.6 L since it came out. I was using the 1D Mark3 at the time and it still works better than ever on my R5. I have no plans to sell it. It wouldn't be worth the price to me for a few pounds. When the weight of the tripod, head and camera are added on, any 800 5.6 will be heavy. The problem with making money with the 800mm in particular is that the markets that use bird photos just isn't what it was during the 00's when the lens was released. There are far fewer paying publications. There are too many people out there giving away photos, and many are excellent photographers. Conservation organizations are cash strapped as it is and have many people eagerly giving them their photos. The good organizations at least ask. I rarely do any bird photography with it anymore, but older photos sell just as well as newer ones. Just yesterday I sold a photo taken in 2009 with the 800L + 1.x on the 1D Mark3 to a well paying national magazine, and a cover shot for a small scientific publication taken in 2005 using a 600f4 (version I) with the 2x on a 1D Mark2. Using newer cameras or lenses wouldn't have made any visible difference for those uses. I'm grateful that I own the EF 800mm f5.6 and that Canon still services it, but at this point I couldn't afford to buy a new one from the income it would generate. The older EF big whites are still very fine lenses and are more than capable of producing photos for publications and beautiful prints at a fraction of the price of the latest and greatest. Now if Canon came out with something like Nikon's 500 f5.6 I would definitely be interested.
During those times it was extremely difficult to cause any man-made extinction and climate change was unheard of.
