If it’s 5lb I’d be very happy, if they could do even lighter, even happier!

Yes that would be a very interesting lens.

Birds come in a huge variety of shapes, I’ll be really interested to see how it works.  I’m going to guess they have really trained it for Osprey since that seems to be the bird everyone uses to ...

Can’t wait to find out, hopefully it will be a noticeable improvement.

Yes that was pretty good news in my view.  At least some EF lenses will get the benefit.  I’m guessing that they will be the newer ones but that’s a lot better than what I was expecting.

From my playing around with the feature and software, it seems like it’s a pretty minimal benefit.  Not worth the “virtually free” disk space or having to tolerate the clunky software.

What kind of wildlife do you like to photograph?

Yep, the r6 is going to be all 1dx3 guts in a smaller package for $4000 less! ;)

You can get flight shots with the R, I’ve gotten a bunch with it.  However, it’s about the worst camera for that job I’ve used in recent years.

A RF 500mm f/5.6 DO would be VERY interesting to me too. The slow sales of the A9 mk2 seem to go along with my observations from when I’m out shooting.  Before the A9 mk2 came out I only saw a ...

The rumored 100-400 non-L should do really well for offering an affordable option.  Anyway, there’s definitely enough unknown about the new 100-500 that it’s a definite wait and see for me.

Yes I’m with you on the TC’s, seems odd to launch them now but maybe it was really easy to design them so why not fill that RF line out a little faster. It will be interesting to see how crops from ...

I’m sure the lens will focus just fine on any of the r mount bodies.  Why so much tunnel vision about AF?  I’m mostly concerned about shutter speed at a given ISO and not so worried about size and ...

Yes you get f/8 with the 1.4x on the 100-400 mk2 but you also get 560mm vs 500mm with the new lens...

yep, 2/3 stop and you bet it can make a big difference.

In my experience it’s not as good as the 7d mk2 or 80d but it definitely can get the job done and when it does nail a shot it really looks great. I’m definitely interested to see how the AF does on ...

Thanks for offering your experience, would love to see some of your bird photos if you have any that are handy to share.

I thought about it but am not seriously considering it at this time.  Will wait and see what it’s like when they actually get out in the wild.  At this point I’m used to the 32MP of the 90d so it ...

Based on the limited information available now, probably not.  Who knows, maybe there will be a surprise when they hit the streets.

What are you basing this on?
