How does it compare to Canon 70-200 F4 IS L lens?
Here's my rule of thumb: if you're a hobbyist taking picture and post it online and not planning to make money off of it, you'd be fine. If you're a pro, I would invest more and go with canon, you know there would be no compatibility issues down the road + canon lenses last way longer.

Any idea this Tamron 18-400mm(https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...di_ii.html) is cheaper than those Tamron 100-400mm? Thanks!
By all accounts a much less sharp lens. Not really their fault though, I think that is an accepted trade-off for a monster zoom like 18-400.

I have one of these I use on an old 80d and I'm very happy with it. This is a great deal if you don't want to go full 2.8.

This or canon 70-300 f4-5.6 usm ii? Lens sharpness wise... need something to shoot my kid's soccer game.
FYI, the variable-aperture lenses (like you posted) ramp smaller awfully quickly. So the 70-300mm is f/4 from 70mm to 103mm, and then is f/4.5 from 104mm to 154mm, then f/5 from 155mm to 228mm, and then f/5.6 from there on out. As a result, as you zoom in, your aperture gets smaller (and number after the f gets bigger), and you end up possibly having your subject be blurry since you'll need to lower your shutter speed in order to compensate.

The Tamron posted is f/4 throughout the range, so after ~100mm it will have a wider aperture, which will let in more light, and allow you to have a faster shutter speed to reduce blurriness. That being said, there's not a huge difference between the two, so if you already have the 70-300mm you're probably not going to see that much of a difference. The 70-210mm also only goes to 210mm, so you might miss some shots if they're too far away.

Just some thoughts.

I have a canon M50 and I not using my camera that much had a bunch of f2.8 and f4 lenses when I used to have a D750 and then sized down wondering if I should get the 18-400 or this 70-200 f/4 lens. Will these be good for shooting indoor events like at a church or the f2.8 is needed.

Sorry, I've never used that lens. That lens is variable aperture and this is fixed @4. I don't know that I would upgrade for that, but if I were choosing between them new, the fixed aperture is going to let in a lot more light over the zoom range.

Actually Kumicho said it better in a previous post

I own this lens in EF mount, It is fantastic. Very sharp across the whole zoom range and even wide open out to the edges of the frame. Focus is fast and quiet and the lens is very small and light for a 70-200 class lens. For $400 is you don't mind the f4 maximum aperture this lens is a no brainer.

So if I don't have a full-frame camera, is it good enough for me to buy that cheaper lens? Thanks.
