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 forgot to add this…I’m assuming contrast and sharpness is improved in the 100-500 L, but has anyone compared whether there is a noticeable improvement when viewing images side-by-side? (Not just from charts).
