I fitted this combination on the RP while questioning the idea of trading this for a RF 800mm.
I believe the 100-400 is a better lens. But for birds, 400 is somewhat short.

Suggestions and opinions?

Thanks.

Both are kind of meh. The 800 is pretty good but obviously severely limited. It is the definition of a one trick pony.

I would rather have the RF 100-500. It will probably beat the RF 800 when using the 1.4x TC attached even though it is only 700mm. It is also f/10 at 700mm with the 1.4x TC.
