Both the Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS II and the Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS II are popular with bird photographers (and wildlife photographers in general). But which lens is right for you? Is the extra focal length of the 600/4 worth the extra cost? What about weight, image stabilizer, autofocus, bokeh, and image quality? In this video, I'd like to help you decide.
