The problem is trying to get as close as possible to a general purpose lens while still keeping a telephoto/zoom range. The 70-200 2.8 can make me a couple quick bucks whilst the 100-400 would pretty much be hobbyist only due to stops. I'm sure down the line that I'll get a 600 L prime (almost...

Tamron SP35mm VC USD f/1.8 for astro and landscapes and night, and Canon F4L USM 24-105. Only went for full frame lenses that were weather sealed even with a T6i.

Definitely will look into it but a hobbyist as of now invested in EF mount (is there an adapter?) and the 5D. Will probably revisit this in mid to late 2021.

Subtropical here so can go from sunny to extreme overcast in the blink of an eye, but can almost always still push ISO 100. The G2 is, yes.

Newspaper. I think a soft image can get away with a small b&w or even color picture at the 200 dpi (possibly less) over magazine with resizing from 30mp to 5-8mp too... could be wrong here though as no print experience.

I decided to go with the Canon 5D MK IV (2016 release so gives me until the end of Canon's RF roadmap to decide whether their lineup is a good switch or not) for the camera body's life (4-6 years) or until mirrorless companies are more transparent about weather sealing and decide to go from...

Would a 1.4x produce the same results, but a lesser distance of 98-280 and making it essentially a f/4 lens? That is pretty tempting for tarmac shooting, but it wouldn't do me well without a backup camera and for landings. I do have a T6i and Canon 24-104 F4L that at a 1.6 crop would capture...

I figured that much but I'm by a military installation and wondering if my closer than 600mm shots after post could get editorial pickups as quite often used with 600mm range, ya know? I'll go with the 70-200 now, then the 150-600 and test a 2x to see if I can get that close and sharp for a...

But it could also give me 300-1200 too. Obviously not sharp, but a good "what's that" lens set up. No?

I'd love to get both of these: Tamron 70-200 G2 f/2.8 Tamron 150-600 G2 f/5.6-6.3 However, the price (used) is around $1600 together. With winter coming up, I have little use for the 150-600 as of now. I'm wondering if I should get them both or settle for a Tamron 70-200 and get a 2x...
