Yes, specifically for the long range capabilities on our Alaskan trip. I have the other focal lengths covered.

The 100-400, a 1.4x gets you to 560, and the 800.

Consider the Sigma 100-400.

Last summer I went on a photography walk with, among other things, my Sigma 100-400 and Canon 80D. I cropped the image above heavily - 2.5x, giving me an effective 1000mm. I find the result acceptable. A few of my fellow photographers had the Sigma 150-600 and the difference in size and weight were quite noticeable. I was glad I didn't have to carry that extra weight.

Canon 80D, 60D, Canon 10-22EFs, 15-85EFS IS, Sigma 100-400, Sigma 135/1.8ART, Sigma 30mm f/1.4DC, Canon 60mm EFs Macro, Rokinon 8mm fisheye, 550EX flash, Olympus TG6 underwater P&S

I have been to Alaska a couple of times. The last time (back in 2014), I took the EF 100-400L along with a Canon 7D. I also had a 5D3, 24-105L and 16-35 f/4 L for landscapes. I found the 100-400L more than adequate on the crop body 7D.

I now have a RF 100-400, and really like the lens. It's quite light and small. We are traveling to Colorado this summer, and I plan to take my newly acquired R10 + the RF 100-400, along with a R6 MKII, RF 24-105L and RF 16mm f/2.8. It's a much lighter kit than I took on that Alaska trip 9 years ago.

I don't like your rules. I'd rather have the 100-400 and the 800 than the 600.
