The Mk2 is wicked.

One of the things and a downer with the R7 is that the AF can wander between shots. I tend to stick to single shot with the R7 due to the focus wandering, unless I'm trying for inflights, then I'll go to 15 fps with the mechanical shutter. I was using single shot today and managed to nail a few. One or 2 did get scrapped though, particularly one of a female Greenfinch, she was razor sharp but she moved one of her legs and it was blurry.

The R7 will do 30fps, which is witchcraft and they're getting even faster. I believe the R8 is 40fps, although I'd have to check.

To get 30 fps with the R7, it has to be with the electronic shutter and the rolling shutter with that on the R7 can be dreadful. I consider the R7 to be a 15fps camera.

Nice image Dale.

Thanks Chris.

It is a staggeringly sharp lens.
