Trying out New Gear
Mar 13, 2023 00:45:28 #
Without going into the sad details of the tragic loss of two lenses and a camera body, I am in the process (aka learning curve) of playing with a Canon R7 with, in this case, a Canon 800mm f/11 prime. It's not a fast lens, but it seems to be performing reasonably well for what it is. I bought an adapter so I can use my other lenses on the mirrorless body.
The following trial shots are from the R7/800mm combo and were hand held. The orchid was taken with the ISO set at 3,200, but didn't seem particularly noisy.

Nice set. What is the difference between the first and second pics? Is the first a digital zoom or crop?
Your lens and camera seem to do well together. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding set Vicki. Nice variety of subjects. I shoot with a Canon 300mm prime for my dragons and I love it. Well done.

Very nice Vicki - looks like you and the R7 are going to become good friends.

Thanks so much, Tim. I need to sit down with the camera and fiddle with buttons and dials.

Same bird, different pose and cropped more on one than the other. The lens is a prime and doesn't zoom. Thanks for taking time for this post. I appreciate it.

I have a 300 prime for my Pentax but haven't used the combo for several years even though it gave great results. One thing I've found about this new lens is that I need quite a bit of distance from the subject. The cow was at least 300 yards away, and the orchid was about 20 feet from me.
Glad you liked these, Doc. Thanks for taking time to look and comment.
