    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Was in Costa Rica some years ago. At a fairly liquid dinner the discussion turned to pratincoles. I suggested to one of the party that he might be 'pratin' and I could be 'cole'. He was very kind to me and I am still alive. Colin

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Very impressive BW. Seems like you get the reach of the RF200-800 at much less cost with the R7. Have you tried this set up with the b1.4 tc, please? Thanks Colin

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I use a Black Rapid R7 attached to the collar foot and a safety line attached to a carabiner on the strap which runs up and down the strap. See attached snap. This is the second R7 that I have used this way. Colin

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    Thanks for all the comments about R5 and R7. Have looked at various videos from Duade, Wegener and Whistling Wings and have decided to stick with R5, 100-500 and 1.4 tc. Colin

    R7 for bird photography and birds in flight

    I am interested in finding out the benefits of the R7 v vthe R5. I know about the cropped sensor and understand that the AF system is like that on the R3. I wonder how the R7 AF system is better than that of the R5 in real life andwould be grateful for enlightenment. Colin
