Sat, 27 Jan 2024 07:46:07 +0530

Recently I purchased a canon Eos r10. I will buy the lens may be a month later. Currently I am exploring the lens options.

I have quite a few options:

Canon 100-400 Rf from 5.6-8.0

Canon rf600 – f11

Few ef mounts available like Sigma contemporary.

If anyone can suggest me what will be best one to purchase among these since I need reach as well.

I didn’t noticed the raw file. Sorry for that. But if you have lower focal length I think it could be great picture. Lack of space and bad head turn that’s only spoils the image.

Crop is too much heavy, do a light crop, i think focal length could be 300mm you can get a good image. Also head turn is little off. If you have any other image with a head turn towards you it will be great image

It make a great pairing, for steady birds and ground dwelling birds you can get awesome pictures. Flying shots can be little tricky.If you have canon Eos 80D it will give you most out of it. But so far it’s a great lens.
