Canon 500mm or Canon 600mm.
Hello everyone,
I would be grateful for any advice that can be offered.
For most of my bird photography over the past few years I have been using a Canon EF100-400 IS lens, sometimes with a Manfrotto 055 tripod.
I am now considering the purchase of either a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS Lens or a Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS Lens.
This will involve a significant financial outlay, which I probably won't be able to repeat, so I was wondering if anyone could please give me advice as to their experiences with either lens and any recommendations.
I have also been told that I would need a Wimberley type head to cater for the size/weight of such a large lens.
If this is the case does anyone know if such a head would be compatible with a Manfrotto tripod or would I need to invest in new equipment here as well.
I'm quite new to this forum so I apologise if this subject has been discussed before.
Many thanks and kindest regards,
Doug.
