Bird Photography Review: Canon RF 100-500mm vs EF 100-400mm II

Posted on by

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens is one of the most popular bird photography zooms, while the new Canon RF 100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM lens is ideal for sports, wildlife, and even aviation photography while maintaining a compact, travel-ready size and weight.

Will it be worth upgrading to the new Canon RF 100-500mm lens if you already own the Canon EF 100-400mm II and can adapt it easily to a Canon EOS R5 or Canon EOS R6?

How do both of these lenses perform side by side in the field? Jan Wegener has compared the two lenses for bird photography. Excellent review, check it out!
