Pete!!! THANK YOU for showing your out of focus shots....and saying most were out of focus. For those of us who are beginning...and very unsure of what we are doing....it is soooo awesome knowing that someone as talented as you doesn't continually take 'bangers'. Thanks for all you do!

[CarlMurawski]

Thank god I'm not the only one sifting through 10 out of focus shots to get to one good shot. That was really cool of you to show dude.

[daniellikahong]

Waw, nice F1 redbullshot, I would almost buy it as a poster! ;D

[ledbullstudios]

Mission creep. Came here for a full review of the lens, got a mediocre lesson on panning 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Atlan_tis]

If it’s extends, means dust has a more chance to sneaking in behind lens

[SeppeBerger]

Thanks for the tips and the photos- very good information!

[jerseygirl]

I have both lenses and I have to say that after using the 100-400, then switching to the 100-500.... the 1-500 wins! Such crisp sharp images! I love it!

[PaulChoate-sv]

The cheaper lens is not f5. It’s f8 at 400mm and that’s the range it will be in most of the time

What you needed to do here. Is anticipate and make distance with the zoom.
-Zoom out to 500mm as the bike is far
- pick a spot to focus on before the bike gets there
-then shoot as the bike gets to that point..
Obviously more on the oncoming side of the rider..
- get familiar with the zoom direction on the lens as to be able to zoom out as the bike gets closer.

Great video. Just found your channel. Love it! So far so good with this lens.
Are you related to Seb? Something about the creative talent, location, last name... hair :D makes me think so.

Like others, just wanted to say thanks for showing your process, with failures and successes... as well as your tips to just practice. This hobby/profession takes time to get cool art. I've done it for years and have gotten more efficient at it, but I've also gotten rusty. Stay in practice! Nice work and really appreciate you sharing the whole process.

How fast is your shutter speed on these?

"Right now I am shooting at 100"
You had the lens fully extended when you said this, weird af

Want to see that short FOR SURE!!!
I shoot with a Canon R8 and 2 Canon M5s (M5 was my first mirrorless and I still love it).
$2, 899 for that RF? Dunno! I get why Canon won’t allow third party providers on RF glass….yet. I LOVE my 150-600 G2 f/5-6.3 faster and “pro series” lens ($1, 299) I’ll adapt this ALL DAY LONG before is drop 2x on a lens that isn’t an L series! If that lens was $1, 299, I would STILL probably stick to the Tamron.

I understand the desire to not allow 3rd parties, but with Sony having 58 Tamron & Sigma options and RF L glass being SO much more expensive…..


…people will make the switch. (Not me)

[MikeDuckworth]

bling bling short term fling?.... costly ?!

[nigelwest]

My main concern with non weather sealed lenses is not the possible damage to the lens but the damage that could be caused inside the camera body with water from the lens tracking through, no matter how well sealed the camera is the lens aperture is vulnerable with a non WS lens

[hansholck]

I still remember my trip to formula one (super lovely "coming home from my first deployment" gift from my Dad and stepmom) with my old 7D and Canon EF 100-400mm mk 2 - Of around 1000 pictures I had around 30 acceptable pictures and 3-4 good once :) But I had loads of fun, and a huge experiance :D

Learn how to shoot before reviewing gear. To many wanna bees on YouTube.

[alansach]

Why is this lens so expensive when Nikon can sell a 180-600 5.6-6.3 for a thousand bucks less? Is it the 4.5 at the short end?

I have been out of Photography for a while, as my son gains interest I've been getting back into it. I remember 20+ years ago photographing in manual for the point that I wanted in the pan to be in focus, I nailed the shot more often than not with film cameras. Auto Focus is great, but if your in a fixed position, trying to get the shot with the particular background you want, Manual is still useful. The hardest part then was timing the shutter and making sure I'm cropped where I need to be. Zooming out a little in camera give the ability to punch in a little in post. Shutter speed at 1/100th of second, I'd argue that a lot of your 'not sharp' shots may have been motion blur rather than the systems fault. When your shooting pans, tuck that elbow in and and keep the camera up to your eye and you'll be far more stable and limit that motion blur to your pan rather than adding up and down blur.
