im so frustrated trying to pick a wildlife lens for my R7. i mostly do birding at the local wetlands and my old 70-300 just isnt reaching far enough anymore. im totally torn between the rf 100-500mm L and that new rf 200-800mm. the 100-500 is super expensive and pushing my $2500 budget but i hear the 200-800 is backordered everywhere and its basically a telescope. i need this for a trip to the everglades in 3 weeks and i cant decide if i should just bite the bullet on the L series or wait for the 800.
- budget: max 2500
- use: birds and small mammals
- deadline: mid-july
which one is actually gonna give me better shots on the crop sensor without breaking my back carrying it??
That is a valid point. I am very satisfied with my results, but be careful because atmospheric distortion can really compromise clarity at longer focal lengths, honestly.
