    I don't have a 400mm f/2.8 anymore (Nikon) but I use now the 500mm f/4, the 600mm f/4 and the 200-400mm f/4 VR.
    I had the 400mm f/2.8 for several years, but always found it to short and to heavy to be use by hands.
    So now I use the 200-400mm f/4 VR by hands and the others telephotos lenses with a monopod.
    The D850 give me very nice ISO settings up to 800.

    I think you’re right to get the RF. And totally right about not using the tc. This lens is on my radar too. Nothing really compares to the quality you get. If you use a 100-500 you’ll always be wishing you had that f4 and 600.

    When I was starting out in photography back in the early 80s I was told never to use extenders unless absolutely necessary. If i was constantly finding a need to use an extender then I was using the wrong lens.
    Even though technological advances have greatly improved the quality of extenders I still hold true to that advice.

    I actually own and love both lenses……..but the low light and image quality of the 400mm f/2.8 makes it the best wildlife lens I’ve ever owned!!

    • @sylerpr
      @sylerpr  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Very cool that you have both. That would be the most ideal situation! I agree with you on the low light performance of the 400, but I just don't find it easy to get close enough for that lens most of the time in this ecosystem. In other places I could definitely see it being more useful though.

    Syler, I have a 600 version 1 and love it to death, but moving it around can be a struggle. I use it more when I am mostly stationary. I'm looking at the RF version for the future and look forward to being able to carry it around or with a monopod rather than having to have a tripod all the time.

    Excellent considerations! I especially like when you tell us about "ethics" @ 7:15 . I own a 500 f4 and I'm not quite sure what lens would be "ideal" for me. I have a few questions: how do you travel with such a big lens? Do you have a backpack that is big enough? And aren't you sometimes "too close" from a subject with 600mm? Have you ever done "panorama-like" shots in this situation? Final question: do you miss sometimes this extra light stop you had with your 400mm f 2.8, in low-light situations?

    • @sylerpr
      @sylerpr  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Travel can be a challenge for sure. I have a Shimoda 70 pack with the largest insert and it fits perfectly in that. It is slightly bigger than carry-on size but by such a small amount I’ve never had an issue so far. There are times when 600 is too much lens and in those moments I have a 100-500 that I use. The biggest downside of the 600 in my opinion is that the minimum focus distance is farther than the 400 with a tc. Not a huge deal but sometimes curious wildlife will approach me too close to focus. I definitely miss the 400 on occasion in low light but the extra reach is worth it to me. If I had infinite funds I’d just have both but in only having one the 600 was a better fit… If I wasn’t a Canon shooter though I would seriously consider the Nikon 400 2.8 that has a built-in 1.4 tc since you’d have the best of both worlds and without the image degradation of a typical tc.

    Your images are INCREDIBLE! Thanks for the review, I have the 400 IS II just now and considering upgrading to a 600 for the exact reasons you mention, the one thing swaying me to the 600 IS II is that older lenses have lost the majority of their depreciated value already, so financially slightly better, if okay with staying a generation or two behind, which I may need to consider as a new dad and not someone who makes much money from wildlife photography. My wedding photography will need to pay for a luxury lens like this, but at least it's tax deductible!

    Great video. 400 f2.8 and 600mm F4 are both fantastic lenses for sports or for wildlife. In my opinion the 400 is the better choice for field sports, and the 600 is better for wildlife. I shoot both and have owned both in a few versions, so far all EF. Right now I have the EF 600mm f4 IS II, which is known for being very sharp with both the 1.4 and 2.0X extenders vIII. That has been my experience, though I shoot an R3 so fewer MP.

    400mm 2.8 is a compromised. I owned the FD version starting in 1983 when it was introduced. Canon had no 600 4.0 so it was a no brainer purchase. I shot a lot of college/pro sports, nature, and auto racing. In shooting it, I always liked having the ability to gain that extra stop if needed, however I shot it primarily with the 1.4x most of the time as well. The 400mm focal length overall I found was just too short for most things. It was “ok” for auto racing, but short for nearly all field sports, and too long most of the time for indoor sports. Specifically for wildlife (I documented the regrowth of Yellowstone for Newsweek in 1989) it’s again too short IMHO large animals where your safety requires distance. I would recommend a two lens solution instead. Buy a 600 4.0 and a 300 2.8. The 600 is what you’re wanting to achieve in reach and if you’re needing something smaller and lighter with less reach you’ll be quite happy with the 300 2.8 due to its focal length being closer to 400mm. The desperation in focal length between 600 and 300 makes them the ideal pairing in terms of the various in light, length, and image capture. I realize their are many variables and personal choices that come into play when choosing ones kit. All three lenses mentioned here (600, 400, 300) will never disappoint on image quality.

    The interesting thing to me about Sony, Canon and Nikon moving the lens elements to the back of the lens is that those special elements are much smaller. Being so much smaller they should be significantly cheaper to make. (Which they are)
    Amazingly the build quality is similar, the the cost of production has dropped significantly, yet the price has increased.
    The good part of that complaint is that the used lenses from EF and F mount are still amazing. (Canon version 2 and 3 and Nikon E)

    imho, you should have went with a EF 600f4 II - it's optically superior to both the 600f4 III EF and RF 600f4. Yes, the IS is better with the III or RF [than the II] and the AF is superior on the RF (slightly superior on the III vs II, but not by a whole lot).
    I use a very old mark 1 500f4 EF prime with a mark 3 1.4x TC and to be honest, IQ drop is almost negligible vs the bare 500mm prime. Just my honest thoughts.

In the UK right now the RF is £14,179.00 ( $ 17,882.00 as of 21/2/2024) all the company's here in the UK , have got a price fix going on. I have found the EF as low as £9,999.00 new ( $ 12,609.00 ) we really are paying through the nose in the UK I'm just a amateur wildlife photographer so I have no chance of ever making money on my photos. so cost is a big thing.

    If you only go with one prime lens in your life, make it the RF 400mm f/2.8, it's sharper, more versatile, easier to capture the surrounding environment of your subject, easier to follow your subject because the 600mm is often too tight especially if your animal is running out of the frame

  • @Chris_Wolfgram
    @Chris_Wolfgram ปีที่แล้ว +1

    All you "typical" photographers kill me. I wish I could get by with measley 600mm ! I mostly shoot small to tiny birds from 25 to 30 ft, with the RF 800 F11 + Canon R7, for an equivalent focal length of 1280mm. This feels completely normal to me, after taking 130K shots with this combo in the last year. I'll be the first to admit that my camera body has some downsides and my lens should be at least an F8, but I still manage to produce a lot of really nice, sharp shots, even in lowish light. Always on a tripod of course. I suppose one could use this 600 F4 + a 2 X's TC on the soon to be released R5 Mk II, but even Syler said he has never been happy with the 2 X's TC. As I say, for something in the range of 1200mm, there are just not a lot of great choices.

  • @johnvanderploeg

    600 f4 would be my first choice as well! Just wondering if you think the 400 2.8 or the 600 f4 has better bokeh. A quick look at a hyperfocal chart would suggest that the 600 f4 actually creates more bokeh (not necessarily better) as it’s hyperfocal distance at f4 is about 4000 ft further than a 400 2.8 @2.8. Just wondering what you opinion is as you’ve shot both, thanks!

      Certainly true about the activity, but if you are shooting at 400 and need to be at 600 or 800, the extra cropping over the photo shot at 600 is going to be as bad or worse than the noise from less light.
      Either is great and both lenses are horrifyingly expensive, so it really comes down to personal preference.

    The importance of lenses is becoming less important with the arrival of better cameras and better software. Cameras and software that can handle higher ISOs much better, software that can select and blur well, ensure that the usefulness of expensive lenses has become a lot less. Lenses must now be easy to carry. And they should be easier to handle for long periods of time without a tripod.

    I recently photographed an owl who was very tolerant of my slowly approaching with my 400mm. I was much closer than I expected to get. Proved to me a 400mm is nowhere near enough for wildlife, unless you are lucky. I do not think there any ethics involved in this. It’s photography.

    Good contents. but I think you need to invest in a good studio lighting...!

    I mean, I think the best solution would be to just buy an R7 to compliment your FF. With the R7, your 400mm would become an effective 640mm. The actually has very good and comparable IQ to the R5 imo. I have both.

    Awesome vid, a little dark though bud. But great content.

      Thanks! Agreed about the brightness. It looked fine in my editing software but came through a bit darker than expected on export…

    Nice video. I hope to find the same lens abandoned by a photographer fleeing a bear someday.
    Great pictures too. CHeers! 😀

    You can add 1.4 teleconverter to 400/2.8 and get similar range and faster lens than 600/4

    Nikon has the Z 400mm f2.8 with built in 1.4x TC and the Z 600mm f4 with the built in1.4x TC. But you will have to sell a kidney or two to purchase either one.

    Both are too big, too overpriced. Currently own Nikon z800mm and it's amazing for its price, size and capabilities. Too poor for lens double the price which is also shorter ;D

      That’s a great lens. Canon has nothing equivalent.
