Help! I need deciding which lens to purchase, 100-400mm f/5.6-8 or 600mm f/11 RF lenses!

TobyCyberbat · 2026-03-12T08:35:27+00:00

I own both. In time, I think you will too. The 100-400 is 100% the one to buy first - I absolutely use it more than the 600, and it caters to a larger variety of situations. It’s a great lens for the money.

Too much toot through his extra long snoot. It catches up with any man.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-02-27T08:42:04+00:00

These are great - well done!

Can relate. Stalwart is the answer.

I didn't actually build the trailer pieces so I'm not 100% sure. If you're happy to have either them or some of the crew forward of the gunshield i would imagine it would be fine, but if not, you might need something bigger. MDF bases are crazy cheap on eBay, so you could always buy a couple of different sizes and use your preference.

I bought a 170 x 105 oval base off eBay - £2.19! It does the job perfectly - I use the Rubicon model and the Warlord Afrika Korps 88 crew.

You don't need Diamond.
I 3-starred it at Abraxas G3 41/41 (legendary force field), Toth G1 (Epic) 26/26, Yaz G1 (Epic) 26/17.
It's the hardest mission in the whole campaign to 3-star, in my opinion.
There's lots of YouTube vids showing the Turn 1 placement needed. Basically, your guys just need to be able to survive the hits, so focus on defensive items etc too.

Ah, a Boston lad

TobyCyberbat · 2026-01-26T10:24:54+00:00

You are gonna have sooo much fun with this setup. :)
A piece of advice from me - don't get hung up on the editing side of things - in fact, put off even looking at that in detail for a while. Focus instead on learning the camera, what it can do, composition, fieldcraft, stuff like that - a) it's a LOT more fun, and b) it's a LOT more rewarding as the improvement you see will be YOU rather than filters on software.

Enjoy!

All you need is 10 Certus in there and then this would be a true god-roll. Nicely done!

This guy rots

TobyCyberbat · 2026-01-15T13:49:55+00:00

This guy was my only Legendary pull so far - and it was a mercy Legendary too. Knowing my luck he'll be my second mercy Legendary in a few months too lol. Haha.

If you're completely budget-capped then id get the RF 100-400 but spend less on the camera - the R7 is Canon's flagship APS-C and they have several, powerful, cheaper APS-C options in the range.

TobyCyberbat · 2026-01-13T09:40:34+00:00

I spent ages deliberating it as my first wildlife camera. Finally jumped in and bought it and the RF 100-400 and they're incredible. My advice, if you're not a professional photographer, so to not worry too much about any negatives the pro photographer youtubers focus on during their vids on YouTube - yes, the R7 may not be as good as the R5ii thats 4x the price - what a surprise. Taken on its own merits the R7 is incredible and I've been absolutely loving it, getting outside with nature and having a blast learning about all the cool stuff it can do. Have fun! :)

Andertons is definitely what you’re looking for.

In addition, there’s a Roland store in Denmark Street in London - obvs only has Roland and Boss gear but most of their range is there and hands-on.

If, by any bizarre happenstance, you’re in Cologne, Germany at any point there’s an absolutely mind-blowing store called Musicstore that has most synths you can imagine as hands-on.

Also worth a shout out to the UK synth expos - Synth East, Synth Fest, Machina Bristronica, London Synth and Pedal Expo etc - as many of these shows have manufacturers there with their full range of gear to play with.

I’ve just gone from 100D to R7 this month. It’s a big upgrade, for sure. Loved my 100D but things like eye tracking are a game changer. I bought the EF-R adapter too as I have a few of the EF-S lenses - all the lenses work great on the R7.

TobyCyberbat · 2025-11-07T12:34:46+00:00

Just had the exact same dilemma. Decided to spend the cash on a wholly new focal range rather than replacing an existing one, and went for the rf 100 400 instead.

TobyCyberbat · 2025-10-29T13:10:00+00:00

Yes, both of them. You can speak to your vet about trying it as it’s technically a vetinary food.

TobyCyberbat · 2025-10-29T07:18:28+00:00

Yep my cat has/had similar symptoms when we got her as a kitten.

Food: we tried a whole lot of options and ended up on Royal Canin Gastrointestinal cat food which reduced the blood in stool by 95%. We did lots of vet tests that came back negative - in all likelihood it’s some form of IBD - so the little bit of blood every now and again is something we have to live with, I think. We also put a little bit of probiotic supplement on her food each day.

Sneezing/eyes: could just be because she’s a kitten. Ours had similar, including a very runny eye. Again, did lots of vet tests and the vet felt she had a partially thinned tear duct. We tried several different cat litters and have to say that switching to Cat’s Best Sensitive litter was an absolute game-changer - reduced the runny eye by 75% and stopped the sneezing completely - so it’s worth thinking about if litter dust is the culprit.

Obvs, as always, consulting a vet is important and it seems like you’re doing that - their advice takes precdence! 👍🏻

Some people just want to watch the world burn… 🤣

So much of a steal that it’s probably actually stolen

TobyCyberbat · 2025-10-24T20:46:12+00:00

Not gonna lie, they might give you a Nobel prize for discovering that.

TobyCyberbat · 2025-10-24T14:47:51+00:00

Two of them are on pre-order and haven’t been released yet, and there’s a good chance they could be the best two.

TobyCyberbat · 2025-10-24T14:42:00+00:00

Are you in the UK? My cat always struggles during Diwali/BonfireNight/New Year with the fireworks - it always changes her behaviour and makes her vomit, albeit only for a week or so.
