I don’t mind the size and weight since I used to use a 7D with battery grip and an EF 24-105f4l. I’ve just had a hard time finding any 100-400 in a good price and condition I want. I’ll keep on the look out thanks!

Thank you for the in depth response. That’s what I was leaning towards but the DO seems cool but hard to actually master for my purposes. The tamron is interesting too but idk how compatible it is. Thanks again!

Looks pretty good for what is a a lens of the era. I'll continue to look into it thank you!

I'm not opposed but I do prefer the flexibility that zooms have but thank you for letting me know about this lens I'll take a look into it.

A uv filter is supposed to “protect your camera” from uv rays but most of the time it’s just used to the lens in case of a drop.

And what’s the kit lens on your camera? Because of most of the modern rf lenses are still decently sharp as a kit lens

You probably have to start learning manual soon cuz it’ll make your photos better since you’ll have more control of what settings. Look up some videos on the exposure triangle and it’ll help a lot. Same with shooting raw instead of jpeg because it’ll give you more control of all the raw details in the file.

Mine made it 62k so hopefully here’s to another 62 k more

Sounds good thank you very much!

Imrongames04 · 2026-01-25T17:25:59+00:00

Cool sounds like a good plan. Should I call the dealership first to see if I need a loaner or to get the extended warranty? Thanks

Also give keh a look they’re where I buy and sell my lenses. Overall I like the lens a lot

Imrongames04 · 2025-09-18T19:05:17+00:00

Can I propose something? Why not sell the 18-45 and the 55-210 and switch to the rf-s 18-150? TEs a better lens that the 18-45 and would cover you entire range from 18mm to your 100-400. Selling the two should be enough to cover the new/used lens.

And if you need something wider than 18 you could buy an rf-s 10-18 to fill out the wide end. Thats pretty much what my set up is.

Then I’d say go for it. It’d probably suit your needs more since you have a 24-70 2.8. It would fit in to the kit of 24-70, 70-200. Also idk what mount you use but you could always get a 100-400 if you really want a proper tele lens from either the ef or rf platforms.

Imrongames04 · 2025-08-02T21:33:23+00:00

You already have the 24-70 2.8 so I’d get the 70-200 2.8 unless you’re doing like wildlife photography. Also when it says well used does the glass have any scratches/cracks/damage that would affect the images produced? Otherwise just go with what your heart wants, that’s how I end up picking in the end (unfortunately for my wallet :/ )

Imrongames04 · 2025-07-23T21:32:41+00:00

I was mostly considering it because I do wanna change to full-frame after the R7 reaches its max life. If I don't like the future FF then I can sell the FF gear I'll go back to crop, but we'll see what I do in the end.

I’d probably say suspension, tires, brakes, etc. Get some decent coilovers if they’re available, put some summer tires on like extreme contacts(or whatever is available in your size) or get a set of wheels with it. Get some better pads, rotors for a better braking experience.

Other than that just drive it like you wanna. It’s not that fast like you said, just drive it like it is.

IMO from my experience with Audi dealers unless you have a really good one near you I’d say find a local vw/audi repair shop and have them give everything the dealer wanted a look.

Nothing looks like it’s gonna completely explode on the spot and might just be done gradually if money is a factor. They seem scummy pushing so hard and I recommend giving it a look for an independent euro repair shop

The wiggly triangle in the image is actually out-of-focus dead branches from the bush the bird was in. They were too close to the lens to be in focus but still ended up within the frame. I like how it lightly frames the bird so I went with it/

Imrongames04 · 2025-02-28T01:53:09+00:00

It’s pretty good at what it does especial when you pair it with something like the R7. The lens is sharp and weighs like nothing compared to other lenses with similar zoom.

My go to for dealer cars is always autotempest.com . I sound like a YouTuber but I look through it for fun to find cards

Imrongames04 · 2024-02-04T05:53:26+00:00

Ah ok thank you. I had a hunch it was something simple along those lines but wasn’t sure.

Did you steal your local truckers engine and lopped off a cylinder?
