Re: Canon Big White Conundrum - 200-400 vs 400 f2.8 IS II vs 500 f4 IS II

I choose 500 and often use 1.4 extender - a great combo. Fab prints at A2+

but I really use this because of weight of 600 rather than optics, and I believe 600 and extender is just as good as 500 except even better with added length and same f stop...

so again it is to my mind simply a weight question or I would go 600 every time...
