Canon 200-400 F4 or 400mm F2.8 ?
Re: Canon 200-400 F4 or 400mm F2.8 ?
I have both the Canon 500F4 and the 200-400. You should not under estimate the versatility of the built in extender on the 200-400. I have used the prime for many years as a 700mm and there have been many times a mammal started off framed at 700 but then I found myself reaching for my second camera and the 100-400.
Now with the 200-400, I have an advantage of engaging the internal extender so I start at 560 and can keep using the same lens down to 200 without the need to grab the second camera and with the 70-200.
The quality of the 200-400 is every bit as good as the original 500 and I am happy to shoot at 5.6 all day long. There is no IQ loss engaging the internal extender
