Some more outings with the RF 100-400mm on the R6, this time with the RF 1.4xTC at 560mm f/11. These are more shots from my wife. I took identical shots standing next to her with the RF 100-500mm on the R5 at 500mm f/7.1. The quality of the two combos is indistinguishable. Here is a variety of 100% crops, varying from extreme cropping to closer. 1 pixel here is 1 pixel of the original.

The previous post was to show that the el cheapo lens delivers the goods with a TC on the low resolution body. And now for something that looks garbage but is in fact bloody marvellous. I glimpsed through a double-glazed window at dusk with considerable cloud, a Great Spotted Woodpecker on our feeder, 15m away. I grabbed the R6+1.4xTC+RF 100-400mm, and took a quick hand-held shot at 1/100s. Auto iso jumped to 25,600! This is a crop where the bird occupies only 800x400px. I am blown over by what this gear can do.

Still consider it "el cheapo" (something that is inexpensive and typically of inferior quality)?
Haven't tried the RF 1.4x extender on the RF 100-400 yet, but it does well on the RF 800.

I haven't been getting out as much because the weather has changed to rainy/cold season here in the PNW but I caught this beautiful little song sparrow the other morning chirping away. Was able to see his breath while he chirped but not sure I captured very well so just going to post this one for now. Shot with the RF100-500 @ 500mm 1/500th , F11 and ISO 8000. Used DxO PureRaw before making LR edits.

...the last day of November brought several species of birds to our front yard tree, including this cedar waxwing: the time between the two images--0.17 seconds apart
