I already have the 500mm L and it will maximize it (maybe). I know from using the 7D II increased resolution that the gain will be there and it will be over the entire sensor now.

However, most people will never realize the gain at their fingertips with this camera. Whether it be due to equipment limitations or chosen technique.
I suppose that is why there is a rumored 5D IV coming. It will fit the masses.

I hear that, but it is one of my chosen hobbies and it is expensive.
