For the flowery image, I really liked the shot with the split between the flowers in the foreground and the reflection in the midground.

Great video! The images came out crystal clear - I plan on getting a 100-400 in the future. Don't want to be negative but want to offer some constructive feedback - please use higher quality audio in the background music of your still shots. The audio you used peaks and is not a pleasant experience.
@JohnDrummondPhoto8 күн бұрын
You're right. The audio peaking was pretty bad. Just turning down the volume of my playback device helped a bit, but yeah. Thanks for watching!

Great comparison video. Even though the birds were not agreeable, you got some amazing landscape shots. We thought the doves were too close to call on sharpness.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, it's pretty close between them in sharpness. Pixel peeping is overrated.

thanks John. Just shows.....you can enjoy the cheaper lenses just as much as the expensive ones. \I prefered the f16 flower tree water landscape pics

Hi, great video. I was thinking it would be more worth it. I have a Canon R10 and I want a telephoto lens for animals. I automatically thought of the RF 100-400mm. Native and with high focusing speed in addition to the low price (in my case 600 euros). On the other hand, there is the option of the sigma 150-600 contemporary, with a higher price (800 euros) + adapter (70-100 euros). What do you think is more worth it, losing those important mm in bird photography or the focusing speed in addition to perhaps other problems you have for not being Native?

Sorry for replying late. I would say that 400mm is a bit short for birding. I haven't used the Sigma 150-600 so I can't really comment on it. I did have the Tamron 150-600 G2 and found its VC didn't work well with the R5's IBIS. But the R10 lacks IBIS, so you don't have that impediment. I would check for other users' experience.

Great job John! You've inspired me to switch to Canon... Which is where I started by journey. trading for an R8.

What is the price difference? Which Canon camera do you use?
@JohnDrummondPhoto8 ай бұрын
The 100-400 is $649. The 100-500 is $2699 (current discount at B&H). I use both the R5 and R6. The 100-500 is a little sharper, a 1/2 stop faster, obviously longer, and it's better weather sealed. But it's hard to justify that price.

@@JohnDrummondPhoto wow $700 for the 100-400 that almost nullifies the justification for the 100-500
@JohnDrummondPhoto8 ай бұрын
@@David_Quinn1995 Yes. I love the image sharpness of the 100-500. But if the 100-400 were available two years ago, I might have bought it. Except it's slow, and slower still with the extender you need to shoot birds with. It'd be a hard decision.

@@JohnDrummondPhoto The RF100-400 has become my go to lens for everything since it arrived. Unless I plan on making serious prints, or shooting in heavy rain, my "L's" will be staying home from now on. I've been waiting for over 4 months for B&H to ship my RF200-800 and now wonder if I actually need it. Note- Since the RF200-800 introduction there are real deals now for 100-500's used.
