My apologies if I did not go back far enough to see any previous discussion but has any forum members had issues with the 5DSR regarding focus issues. I've experiences an ongoing frustration with this body used on my Canon 600 and 800mm as I use it for wildlife "stills", (i'm use 1DX for action on 400mm f2,8 IS MKII). The 5DSR seems a very hit and miss affair but when you really magnify the images down, some are so sharp you could cut yourself and others are as if looking through a coke bottle or putting vaseline on the objective lens. I can put the focus point bang on the animals eye and yet at 1/4000th sec and f6.3 and resting on window or monopod ...yet they're soft. I took it to CPS in Dubai and they say they adjusted the camera but its made no difference. I tried the camera settings to adjust for the particular lens used but no appreciable difference. I've tried a little experimenting with adjusting front or back focussing but nothing scientific. Its just frustrating having to take more than you need pictures on the hope that one is a keeper.
I just wonder if because of the high pixels, that it shows what ever imperfections in my settings or shooting style. I don't get any issues with my 1DX on same lens's so it has to be the 5Dsr body. Anyone care to comment or share experiences ?
Thanks
