How big will a 'big white' be in RF mount?
Originally, I thought 300 f/2.8 and 400 f/2.8, since those are the two most important lenses for photographing field sports. But we don't know how many pixels the R1 will have and whether it will have crop modes.400 2.8. The 400 2.8L III is arguably the finest outdoor sports lens available. Seems like a great EF to RF move.
Have you tried the 100-400 with the R5 in 1.6x crop mode? How did it do?Not with that attitude, bro...
Haha. All kidding aside, I have the EF 100-400/4.5-5.6Lii and the IS is amazing when paired the R5. The only real benefit of the RF100-500 is the extra 100mm of reach over its EF cousin.
Hey Xanbarksdale, I'm taking the OVER. About $8400 I'm thinking the 2.8 is fabulous but this might be a NEVER IN MY KIT kinda thing!RF 300 2.8 IS...I'm guessing the price will be $7500, are you taking the over or the under?
Still not in my plans to buy a five-figure priced supertele, but I hope Canon will not sacrifice resolution this time. With mark III on EF they improved corners IQ (and, of course, weight) but lost some resolution. It is seen well when compared with x2 TC. The still-not-updated 300mm f/2.8 mk II is amazing! And 500mm f/4 mk II - too. It is, probably, very hard to make better. But worse is a possibility, unfortunately.
Never one to object to a pedant but I don’t understand how I have used the saying incorrectly?to be slightly pedantic....

That said, chips in the past tense would be a bargain-basement price
You wrote "the 6D II is as cheap was chips"...Never one to object to a pedant but I don’t understand how I have used the saying incorrectly?

Would that then be a battered banger?Oh! Forgive my errant ways and my horrible constantly auto ‘correcting‘ touch keyboard....
Being a relocated Brit I do miss ‘proper’ fish and chips! Oh and I’ve had a hankering for a chip shop battered sausage for days!
And across the pond that would be a John who was knocked about by a pimpWould that then be a battered banger?
Well, that would be a battered sav (saveloy), a dagwood dog or a pluto pup in Australian parlance. An acquired taste to be sureOh! Forgive my errant ways and my horrible constantly auto ‘correcting‘ touch keyboard....

Don't be so sexist. It could just as easily be a pimp giving a wallop to a trollop...And across the pond that would be a John who was knocked about by a pimp
That’s an interesting point, for years I owned motorcycles, big single trail and supermoto style bikes. The best suspension we had then was by a company called White Power, but after a while it was realized that the name had very negative connotations in world markets so was changed to WP.W

On topic... more big whites would be nice to see but perhaps they will be renamed for political sensibilities.
I haven't heard anyone referring to the 600/800mm f11 lenses as big blacks... or maybe more accurately big greysThat’s an interesting point, for years I owned motorcycles, big single trail and supermoto style bikes.

The only real improvement in lens design is in sharpness, and in my opinion sharpness is vastly overrated in its importance. MILC ‘s do allow for more accurate auto focus as well as much wider scene coverage and lower light auto focus.Indeed I see AF improvements as the biggest advantage for MILC’s over DSLR’s.That’s kind of true. But someone somewhere said that we’re in the golden age of lens design, and he’s right. The area in which DSLR’s will fall behind is with newer, better lenses. Not that present ones aren’t fine, but...
Yes, that's much better, thank you./sDon't be so sexist. It could just as easily be a pimp giving a wallop to a trollop...
