VERY new birder
Hi all,
Looking to do a bit of upgrading on a "modest" (but sadly not unlimited) budget.
Currently I have a Canon 100D ("Rebel) - yes I know, an entry level camera, but I can't upgrade everything all together. On the principle of "glass first" my question relates to lenses.
My choice is between the Canon 400mm f5.6 (non IS) and the Canon 300mm F4 IS. I also plan to include the 1.4x TC in the upgrade if I go for the 300mm.
I'm tempted by the 300+1.4 in order to have the IS capability.
Would appreciate any views on this. Will these lenses/TC combos work on the 100D because I expect to retain this camera for another 12 months or so? I have tried a 100-400mm IS mark 1 zoom on the camera, which works fine, but at the moment I'd prefer to go for a prime lens.
Thank you!
