Perhaps I should get an SL2 (with IBS) to use with the 280 F4 APO, as opposed to getting the SL 90-280 APO? Much to think about. If that lens is sharp enough for your needs then that's a great idea. Ibis on SL2 with adapted lenses for me has just been so much fun. Specifically the Canon 400mm 5.6 L USM + MC-21 combo that also takes 1.4&2x canon TCs. That lens didn't have IS and thus can be had for €7-900, Originally mostly used for bird in flight on sunny day shots now can enjoy IBIS. It's super sharp, weighs 'nothing' and produces great images handheld with SL2 due to IBIS. It complements the 90-280 perfectly for me. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is VERY sharp, it is more the focal length (could use a bit more reach) I am concerned with, but I have some great extenders as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the very few lenses that is so highly specified that it is diffraction limited. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I had the 400 f5.6 in my Canon days and was very happy with it for sharpness and for BIF it had no peer given its weight. Might think of it as an option on the sl2, as you say, now we have ibis.
