White-throated sparrow at high ISO (at least for me)

Had to overcome my aversion to using any ISO higher than 1600 (mindset established a long time ago). But no choice with the 600mm f/11 lens. I'll get used to it I think.

I understand exactly what you mean about an aversion to shooting at ISO any higher than 1600. It clearly goes back to film days. I'm interested in the 600mm f/11 as it is so much lighter than my 100-500. Good as that lens is, it's too heavy for me to carry around for long with my bad wrists. Looks like a good result with your sparrow pic.

With film, I topped out with Kodachrome 64 lol!

In the early days of digital, I was always disappointed with how the ISO performance was only incrementally better with each successive model release. I topped off at ISO 1600 with the 7D2 and 5D2 and never really pushed it after those models.

As for the RF 600mm f/11 lens - it's a recent purchase for me and I'm still in the testing phase. But I'm really enjoying the lens so far - it is so small and light and the resolution is amazing. You can read about my initial impressions here:

The 100-500 was too heavy for me, too. I chose the RF 100-400 f/5.6-8 STM. It takes the RF 1.4 extender across its full range for 140-560. At 560, it's f/11.

I recently went as light as possible with my gear. I ended up with two R6 Mark II bodies and the RF STM trilogy -- the 15-30, 24-105, and 100-400. Very happy with all of them so far, and the total weight of the 5 items is just 6 pounds.

I'd also suggest the RF100-400. I still prefer the 100-500, but there are time I don't really want to haul it around. The RF600/11 is very light, but still a bit bulky if you want to carry multiple lenses, and not nearly versatile as the zoom.

I had the t/c on but didn't need the reach for this particular shot.

This is good to know - thank you for the endorsement. I was planning to add the RF 100-400 next.

It seems like a great little addition - especially for hiking and vacationing.

Very cute!

Just a test shot with my newly bought RF16/2.8 picked it up new for 130USD (rebate + canon cashback).
For money spent it's pretty good will use it for travel mostly
