Re: The 800mm too heavy to handhold, what about 200-400?

Same here, but with the added complication that I now have a 5D4 but sometimes still use the crop bodies I had before that - 7D2 and 80D. The 80D is superb for static shots when I want max pixels per bird. One day I must set up a comparison 5D4 + 2x + 500 vs 80D + 1.4x + 500. The 5D4 ought to win but with the 80D leveraging the extra stop to lower the ISO speed, who knows...
