Telephoto Lens – is it worth buying a 100-400mm if I already own a 70-200mm? Hi all, I currently own a Canon EF 70-200mm f4 lens, and I’m looking to buy an additional telephoto lens – the Tamron 100-400mm F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD. My reasons are I think the extra zoom would be handy for shooting sports and aiding with wildlife photography. Is it worth buying a lens capable of 400mm if I’m already using a 200mm? Or is it just…

Yellowstone – Sony A7iv and Nikon D7500 – Best Telephoto? – 1 or 2 Cameras? – 100-400mm GM? Something Lighter? I was planning on renting an 100-400mm GM lens for my Sony A7iv, to take to Yellowstone for wildlife. I am worried about the size and weight for longer walks and hikes around the park. I currently have the Sony 24-105 G lens which is lighter, but afraid that will not give me the telephoto reach I need outdoors. I am looking into all kinds of me…

RF 100-400mm vs EF 100-400mm mk2, which one for action shot? I recently started photographing some indoor sport climbing competitions using a sigma 70-200 f2.8 adapted onto my eos r6 mk1 body. Overall the outcome from this setup is satisfying, but i wish to get some extra reach, so im considering to get a more telephoto lens. After some research, i am eyeing on the RF 100-400mm & the EF 100-400mm mk2. Si…

Can I replicate this shot at 400mm with cropping and a crop sensor lens? I’m investing in a mirrorless setup (R50 + RF100-400) after spending far too much time with a cheap point-and-shoot, the FZ80. Out of all the atrocious pictures it’s taken, some highlights have shown through with its’ long range, such as this, taken at 1200mm. To get to the point, I want to know if, with the boost in quality that comes with mirr…

Using Flash with 100-400mm lens. What do you think? Hi! I have an indoor event next week with high ceilings. The event will not be fully lit i believe. I was thinking on bringing my 100-400mm lens with a speedlight. So my question is, with that kind of lens, does it make sense to attach a speedlight or just bump my ISO? thank you submitted by /u/Mysterious-Secret-09

Canon R7 + RF 100-400mm for amateur? I was hoping the R7 would be able to compromise and give me a decent chance to capture all of these. I’m not solid on the lens yet, but the 100-400mm seemed to be solid to capture some subjects at a distance. Please provide other suggestions if otherwise. My priorities for the camera/lens combo are as follows: Architecture, landscapes, wildlife,…

Shooting at sun at 400mm on APSC I pointed my camera at the sun and shot a couple of photos but quickly remembered that this is a bad idea. The lens was already focused to infinity I think. How likely is it to have damaged my sensor? How can I check for damage? Luckily it was near sunset time which I know is not as bad as midday. Take a look at the photos attached. ​ https://pr…

Is Tamron 18-400mm a good value upgrade from Canon ef-s 55-250mm? I have a Canon M50 mark 2 and bought 55-250mm lens couple of years ago to start amateur Bird photography. Now I am thinking of upgrading the lens as I think I have maximized what I could have achieved with this lens. My major requirement is more reach and I have a tight budget of 500-600$ Weight and portability is one of my major concerns when i…

Tamron 18-400mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC HLD APS-C vs Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD I have a Canon EOS RP and a Sony A7C. I’ve owned Canon for 30 years and Sony for 10. As you can tell from the choice of light-weight cameras, I very much prefer lighter weight equipment and am prepared to sacrifice quite a bit of photographic quality for the casual/vacation/family-type photographs that I take. I’m recently trying to take some su…

Thoughts on Tamron 50-400mm? Hey Everyone, Looking for thoughts or general user experience with Tamron 50-400mm f/4.5-6.3. Still use A7ii, which is still great minus having to remember charging multiple batteries to cover long day out, and am looking to add another lens to the bag. I typically at most only carry two lenses with me at a time which today are a 20mm and 28-75m…
