Canon 500 f4 OR Canon 800 f5.6
Hi Everyone,
About 2 years ago I sold my Canon 500 f4. Moving to HD video I thought I won't do still bird photography anymore.
Well, I was wrong - big time. As much as I love video and enjoy the HUGE focal lengths due to the small sensor size (anything up to 4,400mm !!!!) - I just LOVE the sigle frame way too much.
Anyway, I need to buy a lens as my Canon 300 f2.8 which I love is a bit too short.
I do all kinds of bird photography including flight. Also do a lot of handholding as well as tripod work. The weight of the 500/800 is not such a big issue as I am quite used to it.
ASSUMING money is not an issue ( I wish :D) what do you people think - I can only buy one.
Thanks in advance,
Ofer
