Hi Adam, Thanks for leaving a comment šŸ™‚

As far as sensors, I loved the image quality from my 5D Mark IV bodies …

And yes, the SONY long lens line-up is severely lacking.

The Nikon 80-400 is a great lens, super-sharp. But minimum focusing distance of the Canon 1-4 is half of the 80-400 VR …

The big trick is to ake good images with whatever gear you are using šŸ™‚

with love, artie

That is the question. As a canon shooter, I have the 100-400 + the cadre of great long lenses, though the size and weight are problematic. Now if Canon could produce bodies with the Sony sensors and Nikon AF, I would be all set. Conversely, if Sony could produce their own version of a Nikon 500 pf, or Nikon came up with a killer 100-400, Iā€™d gladly switch. Sure the mirrorless with a compact lens is attractive, though when one adds long glass, many of the benefits are lost. In the meantime, I limp along with suboptimal AF and heavy gear.
