      Ouch! I’d heard Canon prices in Europe had a bad markup but that’s horrendous! That lens was overpriced at $2600, let alone $1000 more. It really is a near-flawless lens though, the more I use it the more I appreciate its IQ/weight. The worsened stabilization and teleconverter flaw are inexcusable for the price though.

      There’s a separate magnify feature (a default button on many R series bodies but might need to be custom assigned to one on entry level cameras) which allows you to see up to 10x for your photos in realtime, but it will not auto-crop when you take the picture, and it will un-magnify if you start servo autofocus (works with single shot though). It’s still a pretty helpful feature to confirm focus though.

    Very useful information, and well documented. Can't an extender be used with the "RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM" model? Can only crop mode be used on a Cano R as a way of expansion?

    • @Postosuchus

      Glad it was useful! I understand the RF 100-400 can indeed be used with extenders, and doesn’t suffer from the extension flaw of the 100-500, but between the degraded image quality and further darkened maximum aperture I personally wouldn’t want to use that combo on APS-C! As for “crop mode” on the EOS R as long as you’re fine with 12mp or less resolution photos don’t see why you can’t do that! I understand you’ll be giving up all the light and noise advantages of full frame when you do that, though.

The problem with the RF100-400 is that when it rains, I don't dare to bring it out as it lacks the water sealing, and that the other two has a small advantage of letting in a little more light, besides a lot better built wiith weather protection.

    Truly excellent work. Thank you. I have the RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 - a local vendor had a sale going, and I got a used one for $400 US. 'nuff said. I also find the size/weight shockingly good. The one time I've had an issue was shooting an osprey at the limit of the lens's range wide open on an R7. There was enough "glow" that I didn't care for any of the shots. Later testing showed me that stopping down from f/8 to f/11 gave me razor clarity - and in bright sunlight, that was OK. That issue was not apparent at all with the less dense sensor on the EOS-R I used to use the lens with. At that price, I have less than nothing to complain about! At some point, I might go for one of the more expensive options, but whenever I think I'm going to pull the trigger on that, I keep coming back to that light weight and small size. So far, I'm still using it.

  • @usamamuzaffar8909

    In the last experiment comparing optical zoom to digital zoom, it would be fun to adjust the iso to keep the same exposure level on both cameras and see how similar they are. I bet they are very close. it looks like canon is cropping the sensor to achieve the zoom which is good because it means up until about 4x zoom, it's still optical zoom in a way. Also, there goes the only advantage of having an APS-C camera against a full frame camera. Well done canon!

      Maybe I’ll upload a short with that ISO test you mentioned! But having used the digital zoom mode semi regularly since this vid the limitations really are annoying, and it’s not at all a replacement for a good zoom. I was using it last week in an indoor aquarium with my RF 24mm f/1.8 for instance and the digital zoom footage was not able to hold up at all to the 4K60 crop, was just too noisy and low-res.

    For birding, I love my R7 with RF 100-500 zoom. While I can't speak to the Canon EF lenses, I experienced "focus pulsing" with the EF 100-400 Vi DC from Tamron and the 150-600C from Sigma, and others have described similar with some older Canon lenses, perhaps because the AF has trouble keeping up? In any case, I am thrillred with my setup for birds and wildlife: the dual focus motors are fast and accurate, the OIS works well with the R7 IBIS, the minimum focus distance (MFD) is less than 1m at all focus lengths, and the image quality is simply spectacular. In my experience, the 1.4x TC doesn't compromise AF, image quality, or MFD, and the weather resistance is a comfort. If you can manage the price, I am sure you will be pleased,

    Thanks very well done scientific review. If I had to nitpick, I would onlybadd to include the distance to subjects on the video, I think you mentioned in audio. I find distance is very important, as many lenses will do fine at 5m, but less so at 10m or 20m (reality when shooting birds, not always close). Lastly, for your flare test, I imagine they were done without hood, since the audio says the hood can fix this (though nice if written on video), which is nice since I am lazy to carry/put hood though I think often improves quality. Regardless, thanks again for very thourough comparison!. For my next wish, I would like to learn more about the 800mm f11 less as this could be the "long hike" lens compromise (If one owned the 100-500, the 600 would be less of an advantage)

These tests (aside from the "real world" and flaring which WAS done without a hood) were indeed done between 5-7 meters and in hindsight i would've also done a second round of long distance image quality tests outside on an overcast day for even lighting, but at the time I was worried about heat/atmospheric distortion interference. Regarding the primes, I don't own them as the insanely long minimum focus distance is incompatible with my style of birding, but I'd be happy to do the tests if someone were to supply the lenses for me!

    Awesome detailed review. Surprised to learn that the IS on the ef100-400 ii out performs the rf100-500. I use the ef100-400 ii with my Canon r3, and one of my complaints is the IS often is a second or two too slow to settle. I'm torn about upgrading to the 100-500, the f7.1 aperture doesn't have me excited. Based on other reviews I was under the impression the IS on the rf100-500 was rock solid.

      I could have a lesser copy of the 100-500, or perhaps the stabilizer isn't calibrated properly for APS-C bodies? Could also be weight distribution or the way I handhold lenses, there's a lot a factors but after 4.5 months with the 100-500 now the IS is still worse than the 100-400 II for me; even on a tripod that mark II would soften camera panning movements in a way the 100-500 doesn't. All the lenses here had the latest firmware possible I neglected to mention. I was a bit worried about the darker aperture at first too but the loss of 1/3 of a stop along their shared focal ranges really made hardly any difference, in fact the 100-500 seems to focus hunt less in the same scenes despite the lost light. It's much better than the 100-400 ii with a 1.4x converter too.

    Just the video I need. Thanks. I can't see a difference between ef 100-400mm II and rf 100-500mm at 400mm. What is your opinion? Is there a difference in video outputs?

    • @Postosuchus

      The EF 100-400 ii is more stable and "trembles" less than the 100-500mm, at least on the R7; I was quite disappointed with the stabilization of the 100-500 the first time I tried it. It is MUCH quieter though and it seems to auto detect when it's on a tripod and shutoff, which is awesome. I couldn't stand the gurgling of the 100-400 ii showing up in my videos. IQ-wise the RF 100-500 is noticeably sharper with more vibrant colors though.

      Thank you. I am actually in the process of making a wider, more in-depth video comparing all aspects of these 4 lenses plus the ef 1.4x on the RF mount before I sell off the EF’s.

    good video, but a WARNING, most manfrotto and other tripod columns use a screw jam locking feature, you need to raise the column FIRST to see if a locking screw is present (manfrotto 190/ 058 & 075 studio tripods), the aforementioned models use a ratchet tooth design on the ball or gear head base, the screw jams the head here, to stop it turning off during use!!- you need to losten the screw/s until 1-2mm show below the flange on the column, then the tapered pencil tip is retracted safely, so you can then exchange heads, without damaging the head, or screw.

    Hi again! I noticed that you are using R7 too! If I can have an advice for you - I hope that you have stock 18-150 mm lens. It's only f3.5, but can be still very powerful. When you shoot small objects like an insect don't open the aparture to full f3.5 and close it to like f6.3 or more. Your image will be more sharper, you will get less chromatic abberation and it will be easier to focus properly. Compensate the darker image with higher ISO (Don't be affraid of the noise. It's better than burry image) PS: The image is always sharpest in the middle of aperature range, but it's not necessary to be guided with it. Sometimes it's better to open, because of a stronger bokeh. For example for a portraits. ;) Have a good one!

    Is that normal? I just bought a used EF 400mm II 2.8 and have the same sound when I turn ON the IS

    • @Postosuchus
      @Postosuchus Před 9 měsíci

      It is normal for the 100-400 ii; looks like the EF 400 ii was released around a similar time, so Canon's stabilization tech at the time was apparently just noisy.
