Re: Pairing down gear for wildlife/travel weight savings

Some of your options are still pretty large, would you consider one of those Sigma/Tamron 1×0-400, or 150-600 long tele's in an EF mount with adapter?

It'll get you some additional range and maybe ~1 stop gain at the long end ( at the expense of dual IS).

It's not an all Canon solution, but it might get you closer (in terms of FL) to things you want to shoot.

Of, you could shoot in crop mode.

I still take m43 gear when I need to save space and need the extra range at longer FLs.  In the end, everything is a compromise in one way or another...
