Jeff, I'm curious, why do you shoot with the 100-400 when you have the 100-500? Isn't the 100-500 the better lens?

sometimes I take it for the wider aperature, other times just because... I have been trying to talk my son into taking it but he likes his EF100-400L mk I So I will probably sell it however I still have the 90D and 7Dii and 5d classic all of which need the EF lenses

No, I meant the RF 100-400mm. I noticed you shot the mallards above with it and I wondered why you shoot with it when you have the RF 100-500mm.

You know, I think you're right! I didn't check that, assuming it was a recent pic.

Maybe he didn't have the 100-500 at that time?

I didn't buy the 100-500 until early 2024 this was in 2023 with the RF 100-400

HOWEVER I often take the RF 100-400 out due to the lighter weight and also for my shooting, social media and a 8 1/2 x 11 calendar every year it gives really great results, I would say the same as the EF 100-400Lii and virtually as good as the 100-500 for those uses. Pixel peeping you can see the difference but I think the RF100-400 is a hidden gem by Canon.

the big difference is the build quality, controls, and weather sealing, but it is a great lens. I use it a lot

I only read good things about the RF 100-400. I'm always tempted to buy it because it's inexpensive and lighter than the 100-500mm.
