Which is good for wildlife 600mm f4 GM or 400mm ...
Which is good for wildlife 600mm f4 GM or 400mm f2.8 GM.
I agree with Kirk, both of these lenses would be excellent for wildlife photography. I have been using the 400mm f/2.8 for about a month now and love it. I am primarily a birding photographer. The 400 works great with and without the 1.4x tele-converter. It is very well balanced and very easily hand held. The 600mm f/4 should be an awesome lens as well. The primary difference is that the 600 will not be as easy to hand hold. My experience has been with the Sony 500mm f/4 A-mount lens. It is a bit heavier than the E-mount 600 but I have always used it with a sturdy tripod and gimbal head.

Does this FE 400 lens have the same focus motor as the newer FE 600 lens. The 600 is described as dual motor extreme and I don't see those terms with this lens ?
Yes they both use XD linear motors.

Can this lens and case be carried on a plane’? Would not want to check it in with luggage
While the case is small enough to fit in most overhead compartments, it is best to check with the airline you're using for their specific restrictions on what can be carried on.
