While I love Marks work, this video made no sense. He didn’t like the 500mm because he was too close to the subject matter.
A 100-400 gave him more flexibility and a shorter reach as you would expect.
This has little to do with which lens was better for birds. He often shoots with a 600mm Sony. Does this mean a 100-400 is better than that lens?
No, it’s just a matter of choosing the right tool for the job.
Correct. Felt like Nikon paid him to root for the 100-400 to pump sales, at expense of 500. Being too close has little to do with either lens quality. Simply a matter of best Focal length choice for the situation. Duh Mark! However, Focus issues between the two lenses may have been valid.
