I’m constantly impressed with the RF 100-400 for its weight advantage over the RF 100-500 L and the quality I can get.
Aside from the aperture differences and the weather-sealing, what else am I sacrificing by not using the RF 100-500 L? Has anyone done tests to compare the two on IQ? The RF 100-400 seems pretty good for a consumer lens.
Thanks!
I don't have either (I still have EF 100-400L ii), but TDP testing shows that 100-500L appears to be very noticeably better at all focal lengths and apertures - sharper and less aberrations.

But perhaps in the real world the RF 100-400 would be perfectly adequate for most people in most situations - at a fraction of the price.
