- I compare the supreme wild life lens- canon 600 mm F4 III with the Canon 800 F11, Tamron 150-600 mm version one and also relate my experience with the Canon 100-500 mm lens and decide which one I will eventually buy. I hope this is helpful for others in my shoes!

Cool comparisons. Different situation requires different tool in my book. No doubt the RF100-500 is a great lens. Glad you want to buy one. This lens is back ordered. Hope you can find one easily. As I said in my comment in your prior video, the 100-500 rivals the big prime. But the big prime has way better bokeh, contrast, and less flare. The 100-500 is very close, especially comparing the price with the big prime. I took my 100-500 + RF 1.4x on my recent vacation. With the RF 1.4x, it still quite sharp. That is a great combo for traveling light on a vacation. When I need to hike a bit to find birds, I take the 100-500. But when I find a spot (near a nest, for example), I use the big prime with either a monopod or a tripod and wait there for the action. The 600 mm III at 6.7 lbs is quite light compared to my 600 mm II which is more than 8 lbs. If I have the budget, I would upgrade to III. Regardless, you won't be disappointed with the RF 100-500.
Thank you very much for your comment. I agree the 600 f4 is fantastic; just wish it was 3 lbs lighter! I am glad you like the 100 to 500 even with the extender. The lens is out of stock everywhere. Hope I get one soon!
This is an excellent video and tutorial for Canon users
Thank you very much!
I think you made exactly the right choice. I have the R6 and I'm looking forward to getting the 100-500 RF lens. For image quality, light weight, size and maneuverability it is my top choice. Until then I chose not to get a 100-400mm since they're a bit bulky and a little heavy and I would leave it at home once I get the 100-500mm. Even the new Canon RF 100-400mm is f/8 at the long end. Instead I chose the Canon 70-300mm NanoUSM ll with the EF adapter for it's enjoyability carrying and hiking as my short telephoto. It's small and light and f/5.6 all the way out to 300mm. The best feature is I can hike with it and enjoy everything I'm doing without constantly having to be thinking about it or balancing it and controlling it on my shoulder strap. Along with the 24-105 F4 and eventually the canon 100-500mm I will have everything covered with just three lenses for the shooting I do most. Thanks for a well-done and informative video and best of luck to you!
Thank you for your comment and insights.
I owned the EF600 f/4.0L IS (v.1) for about ten years. Had a great time with it, but . . . .
As described here, it was(still is) a ponderous beast. In fact v.1 was significantly heavier than the latest version, and now the RF version. It was just not a lens one could grab and go to work with. I NEVER hand-held it EVER! LOL!
I sold it. I now have the RF800 f/11 and love it. It stays permanently mounted to one of my R5 bodies, ready to go at an instant's notice. Does great video too, although I prefer it on a tripod for that.
Long FL zooms just are not for me.
Appreciate your reflection on the 600 F4. The new RF lenses are great!
The Ef 600f/4.0L IS (v1) with a gripped 5D SR comes in at 17 lbs. I have had this lens since 2008 and only in the last 5-6 years I can hand hold for aviation /airshow photography. Since the pandemic and air travel restrictions, I have turned my attention to bird photography for which hand holding the v1 lens is almost impossible for anything but a few seconds. I have always been impressed with the 600mm image quality with tripod mounted perched bird images. I really want that for birds in flight and am thinking to upgrade to the RF600. I currently am using the v1 lens with an R5 body but still very hard to hand hold. I do not have success trying it mounted on a gimbal head, seems too restrictive.🤔
@@richardwood1212 The canon RF 100 to 500 is a good all round lens. The new 600 RF should be hand holdable for short periods of time, considering you have experience with the gen 1 version!
Don't know why you didn't get better results with the Tamron. Maybe I have a better copy than you, but mine produces incredible feather detail and sharp eyes. It does not hit focus 100% of the time, but it still lets me get a lot of technically great shots. If choosing between the f11 Canon and the Tamron, you should try comparing with the Tamron stopped down by one stop. It would still be faster than the Canon and the image quality should be closer.
Did I see horrible vinnetting with the f4 in full frame. Corners looked very dark, but maybe that was processing?
If you are shooting in cropped mode because your memory cards are not large enough or your computer won't handle the bigger file sizes, I'd suggest spending less on lenses and upgrade your cards or computer so you can shoot full frame. You'll really improve your framing of BIF with cropping on post.
I have gotten very sharp images with the Tamron, but there is an inconsistency in sharpness...some are sharp, others are not. It becomes very apparent when you compare it with other canon glass on canon bodies. Could I have a worse copy? I suppose it is possible, but many others have reported what I have observed. Corners on F4 lens was processing , not vinnetting :-). I do not usually shoot in cropped mode; agree with you that cropping in post gives you better flexibility. However in the crop mode, the camera's auto-eye detect works much better! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Great video tganks a lot.
What adaptor were you using to mate the ef lense to the R5?
Thank you very much. I used the canon EF to RF adapter.
@@carminered3229 Thanks for your reply, and were there any AF issues?
@@Tony-ow3if Not at all, works just like a native lens!
I made the same choice and want to buy 100-500 with extenders. I switch from Olympus and have bought the R5 waiting for the lens...
Congratulations! Great purchase. The 100-500 is out of stock everywhere here.
Well done!!!
Thank you very much!
Great photos. Although, I think the 400mm 2.8 would be better suited for your environment.
Thank you. Yes, more light is always better!
Frankly speaking, this is like comparing apples to oranges to peaches...
Exactly. No tripod, different settings and f-stops. Different focal lengths. Moving/different subjects...
I appreciate the uploaders effort, but how in the world is that supposed to be a fair and normalized testing/comparison.
I still prefer the Canon 400mm F2.8 and occasionally combining with 1.4 or 2.0 extender.
That's a great combination too.!
F2.8 400 primes are the best
try the sigma 150-600 C its far better than the tamron g1 and g2 lenses.
Thank you for your comment. I will definitely try it out.
@@carminered3229 feel free to see my videos as I have tested the hell out of the sigma and tamron lenses, ie-test charts and images.
Sure will. Thank you!!
I dont thing so!
I´ve had them both
professional
Thank you!
Gift me the lens
600mm f4
Christmas gift
:-) Hope your wish comes true!
Carmine this isn't even a fair comparison because you're comparing the old Tamron G1 to the New canon 600 F4 III from a few of the reviews that I've seen there's no comparison between the timber on G1 and the G2 lens so please redo this review .
Thank you for your comment. Please check this out. th-cam.com/video/TWC_1_BhGKo/w-d-xo.html. I did test the G2 version. It is still not as good as the Canon 100 to 500. I believe the native canon RF lenses plays better with the new mirroless Canon cameras.
Can you give me camera
🙂
The 600 f4 MK2 is actually sharper than the MK3, weirdly enough. Won't make me buy one again, happy with my 500 f4 MK2.
Side note, this is an absolutely ridiculous comparison, you're comparing a $13,500 lens to a sub $700 one, crop mode is also fairly useless as you can just crop in post lol. I also assume you rented this, if not i'm going to make fun of you for buying a $13,500 lens and using basically a phone quality microphone for your audio lol. Also no offense but apart from your Heron picture, the others really don't show terribly good composition or a display of what the 600 f4 is capable of. Other than that, good video.
Comments and criticisms noted. Thank you.
@@carminered3229 I mean, it's not a bad video it's just, why compare a $13,500 to like a $700 one? Haha.
@@frostybe3r why see and comment a ridiculous comparison?
@@antonioa.2323 Sorry what?
He must be a beginer photography or just a hoppy. If you want your photo look profestional, out standing get big prime 600mm f4 perios.
