For the flowery image, I really liked the shot with the split between the flowers in the foreground and the reflection in the midground.

Thanks. That's my favorite too.

I think the landscape photos are just amazing given that you did not use tripod or anything but they came out really well! Kudos 🎉

Why, thank you!

Great comparison video. Even though the birds were not agreeable, you got some amazing landscape shots. We thought the doves were too close to call on sharpness.

At my age when I bend down and lean forward I usally throw my back out if I stay in this position for awhile. Cheers!

Nice video John. Where were you?

What is the price difference? Which Canon camera do you use?

The 100-400 is $649. The 100-500 is $2699 (current discount at B&H). I use both the R5 and R6. The 100-500 is a little sharper, a 1/2 stop faster, obviously longer, and it's better weather sealed. But it's hard to justify that price.

​@@JohnDrummondPhoto wow $700 for the 100-400 that almost nullifies the justification for the 100-500

@@David_Quinn_Photography Yes. I love the image sharpness of the 100-500. But if the 100-400 were available two years ago, I might have bought it. Except it's slow, and slower still with the extender you need to shoot birds with. It'd be a hard decision.

@@JohnDrummondPhoto The RF100-400 has become my go to lens for everything since it arrived. Unless I plan on making serious prints, or shooting in heavy rain, my "L's" will be staying home from now on. I've been waiting for over 4 months for B&H to ship my RF200-800 and now wonder if I actually need it. Note- Since the RF200-800 introduction there are real deals now for 100-500's used.
