Hi @Nemorino!I just had a look at wikipedia and would say the picture of maximillian is a black-tailed skimmer and the one of Alan is a Scarce Chaser:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-tailed_skimmer
"The wings spread more or less horizontally in repose. They are dissimilar in shape and venation, sessile, unpatterned and clear."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libellula_depressa
"Both fore and hind wings have a dark patch at the base."
Nice shot with all in focus. You have to have a stab at ID!OK, I'll stop to try to identify.

Great shot. Even though you need good panning as well, I must say that the R5 AF system makes me jealousOK, I'll stop to try to identify.

Still mulling over this...

Seems like the continent / Germany is a little bit ahead here and we lost synchronity.I can’t wait for these to appear here. Great shot!
Is your 100-400 sharper at f/9 than f/8?Thank you!
The RF100-400 is such a fun to use for DIF! The low weight is a big advantage.
I had a lot of luck today!

Thanks. I'll check out my ones at close distances. Stopping down is no bad thing at these close distances anyway.Yes, it is. f/8 seems to be much softer but only at closer focus distance.
