    Downgrade from Full Frame to Crop?

    If its more reach you want with the 100-400 use an extender, I have the 5d MK4 and I use the 1.4 extender iii on my 100-400 and its is a great set up, it gives me just slightly less than just the lens on crop sensor. ok it shoots at F8 minimum but with better high iso its great

    Upgrade from 70D

    I am currently looking at the R7 as an upgrade, spoke to a couple of people that have them and they cannot recomend them enough for wild life motorsports etc, you can get the camera body with an adapter ring so you can use all EF lens on it

    Canon Lens Conundrum

    The night I can practice without too much problems the cold might be an issue as i live in guernsey so does not get too cold here, normally around zero on a winters night. When you say focussing accurately at 1.4 what do you exactly mean by that , in what way difficult?

    canon 100-400 mk2 +1.4 extender vs sigma 150-600

    What you have explained is sort of the way I was thinking last night hence my post, If the sigma is a good sharp lens then why start to adding length only to be limited in other areas with the canon, i.e light etc Thanks for the reply
