Re: How good is the RF 100-400 for Sports?

Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought.

I realize that the RP is not really considered a great choice for sports, but it seems like it's overall a good fit for me, and I'm trying to figure out what I need to make it also do some sports shooting.

I've found generally that I'm happier in the long run putting the money I do spend into lenses, since there's always a better body around the corner. The 100-400 looks like it's probably worthwhile, and at that price seems pretty reasonable if it will actually let me play with those longer focal lengths. I guess I'm just a little paranoid that if I don't buy an L lens I'm going to end up disappointed like with the 75-300 and end up with 2 lenses sitting at home instead of one. Getting more and more confident that this isn't the case, though.
