    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I tend not to use the 1.4 converter, especially for flying stuff, but I did for this Osprey last September. When I'm using the converter it's usually to make close objects bigger, rather than distant objects closer. It spends most of its life in my pocket or, more often, at home. I was...

    I don't think a camera strap on the body lugs is a great idea when an 800mm 3kg-plus lens is stuck on the front of it, but you're the expert.

    Canon RF 200-800mm IS USM

    A few shots with the R7 and the 200-800. Some portraits of a fence-jumper on Sunday in good light and one today of a grasshopper warbler skulking in a bush in dull weather. The first four mandarin shot were all at 800mm and the fifth was taken with the 1.4x converter (1120mm), The sixth shot...

    How do you pronounce Leica

    Why the sneering? I just asked a genuine question, explained in the best way I could, not any attempt at one-upmanship.

    Cetaceans, Goa

    I'm adding these photos just for comparison, because they clearly aren't the same species. One morning in January 2015 I went onto the beach simply to use it as a convenient means to walk to some birdy habitat about a mile from our hotel (Candolim). Unusually, there was no ocean swell coming...

    How do you pronounce Leica

    Not so much pronunciation of vowel sounds (as in Lie-ca), but more something I've noticed in many YouTube videos by American photographers, such as Tony Northrup and many more. When they are discussing teleconverters in particular, but also elsewhere, they seem to confuse a mathematical symbol...

    Canon RF 200-800mm IS USM

    200-800 on the R5 in cloudy weather. ISO 1250 at the harbour, 2500 for the geese & 3200 for the pigeon. The lens plays better with the R5 than the R7, with better focus acquisition & stickiness.

    Canon RF 200-800mm IS USM

    Out with the 200-800 on the R7 on a rare sunny day, 29th March, for a couple of strangers from origin unknown, and a few of the locals.

    Canon RF 200-800mm IS USM

    I've not been able to get out nearly as much as I'd have liked with this lens (crap weather), but yesterday, taking a break from decorating, and just for a few minutes, without leaving the room, I fastened the 1.4 converter onto it for the first time in daylight and fixed the combo onto my R7...
