    I've had the 60C for about two years now and I love it to transport my camera gear when I fly and for day hikes. I am considering the 36 for photo tours where I don't need much "add on" stuff like extra jacket or food. It was good to see the two next to each other. I like that the 36 now has a removable hip belt as well, as I don't need that on shorter hikes. Nice video, thanks for that 🙂 Also: why is it such a rare thing for a backpack to have TWO sidepockets? It really surprises me, I don't want to take a tripod OR a water bottle, is that so unusual? 😅

    Hi, great video. I was thinking it would be more worth it. I have a Canon R10 and I want a telephoto lens for animals. I automatically thought of the RF 100-400mm. Native and with high focusing speed in addition to the low price (in my case 600 euros). On the other hand, there is the option of the sigma 150-600 contemporary, with a higher price (800 euros) + adapter (70-100 euros). What do you think is more worth it, losing those important mm in bird photography or the focusing speed in addition to perhaps other problems you have for not being Native?

    Hi Matthew, I am retired and shoot Landscapes as my hobby. I use this lens with my R5 and it’s fantastic. From my experience I found sharpness at 400mm to be good. I used it on Macro shots and it works great. I also have the RF15-35 2.8 and the 24-70 2.8 which are sharper, but at a cost. I have planned the trip of life to Iceland next year and taking this lens as my third lens and leaving my 70-200 2.8 at home. Thank you for your video.

    Having most of the groundwork done in the original photo makes editing easier. There are limits to what can be done in post-processing, and the filter will eliminate a lot of work that might not turn out how we want it to.

    Hi, I buy recently an r10 for replace old 1200d, I have the sigma 18-300 with adapter and I like it because I can use in every situation. Do you think rf 100-400 could be better in every situation from 100mm to 300? I have find one used for 400 swiss franc.

    • @Jerecek
      @Jerecek Місяць тому

      I didnt need this lens but found it second hand never used. And I love it! Only depends if you use Sigma as all around lens the 18-100mm could be missing. If purely as a zoom- go for it.

    So your "soft" mountain photo from that beach shot can be many different things for why it's soft. It doesn't mean it's the lens, although the 100-400 is known to be softer in the higher focal range, it could be the weather, the atmosphere, haze, etc. Your praises of the lens though are spot on.

      Easiest way to describe it is the difference is gas station sunnies and Oakley prisms. The cheap ones will to the job but putting cheap glass in front of the nice glass of your lenses will reduce the quality
