Thanks. I've been contemplating the 600/11. I don't think I'm going to go for the 800 because the size reduction isn't really enough to let it fit in normal bags, but the 600 is. Though this is low priority, as I don't shoot a lot of long stuff or birds or the like, except a handful of times a year, but I have a Sigma 150-600 that works pretty well for that purpose. Wouldn't mind having a compact supertelephoto that I can pop in a shoulder bag, though.
I have also thought about the 600 f11 as an add someday. I was leery of the F11, but was seeing owners talk and post about the 800mm, I bit. I shoot a 300 with a 2X quite a bit, but it is heavy for me. The weight of the 800 is incredible, and the 600 would be even better.
Hey everyone - first time posting one of my photos here.
I wanted to share this one in particular in order to highlight the R5's IBIS. This was taken handheld at a 1 second exposure, with a 50mm 1.2 which doesn't have IS. I thought it was pretty impressive given the circumstances. My buddies and I were shooting in Death Valley at 2 am when suddenly a bunch of starlink satellites started flying overhead, and I immediately adjusted my settings and started firing.
Images taken at Berkeley Estuary:
R5 + Canon EF 300mm F:2.8 IS MK I, EF 1.4 tele-converter Mk III Eye auto focus in Zone AF,
Image 1 - ISO 2500 Shutter speed 1/1600 F:4.0
Image 2 ISO 2300 shutter speed 1/1250 F:4.0
We need a "non-bird" Canon R5 thread here, as 95% of the photos here are birds. I like to shoot birds as much as the other person, but it becomes tiring to scroll through pages and pages of bird photos to find any other subjects. I for one like to see more people shots, landscapes..... give me a cat for a godsake!!!!!
