Dogs was just a little extra on top of my regular job and I should have 1 or 2 keepers one of them where they are just sitting. The majority - complete out of focus trash.
The 5D did an OK job with a pig which is considerably slower, but faster than you would imagine.
The setup was 70-200mm f/4L IS lens at 200mm, AI-servo tracking with generic AF settings (did change to one of the bottom modes, with slight but insufficient improvement), and perfect lighting conditions. The owner would throw a ball towards me and I would get a few shots of the dog sprinting.
A few frames are in focus but majority considerably backfocused.
This would have been the best shot and its just an instant delete now. I deliberately didn't crop to show the magnification. Exposure was pretty much as shown.
I may be doing more and more of this so I'd like to get past this issue. Is 5DIII capable of > 50 % success rate? From memory the old 1DsII without any complicated AF menus worked a whole lot better. I would be interesting to be buying another and lugging it around for dogs. Same goes for 7D / II. Of course I may just accidentally get a mkIV, but thats not a given now.
And out of interest how would Sony A7RIII cope with this with my lens adapted and the Sony equivalent?
