Thanks Wiebe. The 5DSR has a real edge over the 7DII for sharpness, and I sold my one as I stopped using it after buying the DSR. This shot was of the bird flying because of the better illumination - it’s head is not looking down as much as when it is purely hovering. The IS was on even though I was shooting at 1/4000s. It’s rare for me to use the extender for BIF and I was surprised at a near 100% of tack sharp keepers.Great shot of this bird Alan! I'm quite partial to these small birds of prey - they are so elegant and purposeful...
Perfect exposure also, these birds have a tendency to hover with their back to the sun, so the head and eyes are shaded - but yours is beautiful . Sharp as well, for me the combo 7DII, 100-400 II + 1.4xIII lacks that last bit of sharpness that the 100-400 itself does have but on your 5DSR it looks perfect... Do you use IS on or off btw.?
Wiebe.
