I think so. It's $665 in good condition. That's more than the most you can pay for an RF 100-400 new. I got mine for $380 refurbished.

So it weighs twice as much, focuses slower, and the image quality is questionable at 400mm unless you stop down to f/8 where it just matches the RF 100-400. And is more expensive.

So I'll just get the r50 and the rf 100-400
[6/15/2024 10:38 AM] skaijie
id try for r10 if you can spend a little more
[6/15/2024 10:38 AM] skaijie
although r50 is ok
[6/15/2024 10:38 AM] glyphthegryph
The R50's buffer is pretty small but if you shoot CRAW and feather the shutter it's fine
[6/15/2024 10:38 AM] glyphthegryph
R10 is a bit better for wildlife yeah
[6/15/2024 10:39 AM] aambi
ok so r10 with rf 100-400
[6/15/2024 10:39 AM] glyphthegryph
They have the same sensor and AF and almost everything in common
[6/15/2024 10:39 AM] skaijie
yeh
[6/15/2024 10:39 AM] glyphthegryph
Sounds good to me but what other lenses?
[6/15/2024 10:39 AM] glyphthegryph
Surely you won't want to only be photographing wildlife
[6/15/2024 10:40 AM] aambi
yea yea im probably also going to need a
[6/15/2024 10:40 AM] aambi
lense for like more street and urban
[6/15/2024 10:40 AM] aambi
settings

The RF-S 18-150mm is good if you prefer versatile zoom over having a wide aperture or the best image quality, and like $350 used
[6/15/2024 10:41 AM] glyphthegryph
I'd say that's probably the best "do everything" 2-lens combo with the 100-400
[6/15/2024 10:42 AM] glyphthegryph
I love the RF 35mm f/1.8 for street photography but you may prefer the versatility of a zoom or a different prime focal length
[6/15/2024 10:43 AM] aambi
yea using prime might be difficult
[6/15/2024 10:43 AM] aambi
18-150 is a good range
[6/15/2024 10:43 AM] glyphthegryph
I bring that lens hiking when I have to pack light and it's great
[6/15/2024 10:44 AM] glyphthegryph
You have an EF-M 15-45mm currently right? When you're using that do you prefer one or two specific focal lengths or are you zooming all over its range?
[6/15/2024 10:47 AM] glyphthegryph
Also $1200 budget right? If you're in the USA and can wait for refurbished program sales you can get an R10 and the RF 100-400 for like $900 total and have almost enough money for an 18-150.
[6/15/2024 10:47 AM] aambi
yea thats the one i have im usualyl zooming all over
[6/15/2024 10:47 AM] aambi
1500 budget
