I used a sigma 17-50 2.8 and it had MFD of just 28cm whereas 24-105 F4 is a whopping 45cm! That is a huge detriment to any macroish photography. The lenses also weight a TON more, 55-250 STM was just 375grams and quite small, and my other lens with similarish capability is 70-300 Tamron lens which weights much more and has worse macro capability. My lens bag weights way more now if I have 3 zooms in it. I also did lose 4.2 megapixels, but that's not such an issue.</P><P>Is there any other good, light weightish zoom lens other than RF 100-400? That one gets quite dark on the long end (Is F8 on FF the same as 5.6 on crop?), but it has a good macro capability and it's quite light too.</P><P>I've been considering just going back to crop and maybe switching to R7, but I do like the better portrait and low light capability since I do professional photography a little bit.</P><P>Honestly writing this just it just seems like the FF was a mistake on my part and I shuldve just gone R7 + 6D for low light. Sigh.</P> Tue, 26 Mar 2024 10:00:04 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EF-RF-Lenses/Going-from-80D-to-R6-looking-for-55-250-STM-equivalent-for-Full/m-p/469352#M30367 gomaa 2024-03-26T10:00:04Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EF-RF-Lenses/Going-from-80D-to-R6-looking-for-55-250-STM-equivalent-for-Full/m-p/469412#M30383 <P><EM>"Honestly writing this just it just seems like the FF was a mistake on my part&nbsp;..."</EM></P><P><SPAN>FF is not for everybody and that is OK.
