Yes, I'm pretty sure it was operator error with a camera setting. Lot to explore with this camera. :S3:

Hi, I just came across this reply. For some reason. I'm not getting notifications of threads being updated. I came down in 1987 to Ealing then Harrow, and it was going to be for a year. Then another year, then...... Last time I was in Perth was for a schoolfriend's funeral. Held at St...

Hi Gail. Subsequent use hasn't shown sluggish AF so it might have been a setting which was "wrong" or at least sub-optimal, somewhere. I'm new to the camera as well as the lens, so there's a raft of possibilities. It certainly seems snappy enough now. As long as it keeps going as it now is, I...

An interesting thought :Whoa!: Right. I've returned the Mk II and ordered a used Mk III which should arrive tomorrow. It seems now I've decided on the lens, I've thrown caution to the wind and just keeping on spending !!

Ah! Thanks for the heads up. I will return it and see if I can pick up a Mk III.

Hee Hee! You make a very good point about the Green Fees. I don't smoke or drink and I don't dress like Beau Brummell and you can't take it with you ! :S3: I actually picked up a used 1.4EX II and I'm trying that out at the moment. Next on my list is setting up a bit of a hide and getting...

Thanks, Steve. The grip is certainly on my list. Re getting to grips with the lens, I just feel that learning to get comfortable with the lens and getting to know how to get the best of it as well as developing good technique will take me a little while. Honestly, part of me still is niggled...

Hi Steve, Yes both would be nice :bg3: I used to photograph weddings and families so was selling prints. With a career change in March, I plan go back to that next year. I was looking for a camera that would do that well and so I suppose that was an important consideration. I doubt I will ever...

Hi Steve, I originally ordered the R6 and hummed and hawed for weeks while waiting to receive it. During this time i changed my mind several times but I saw a comparison of noise between the two which suggested to me that the difference wasn't particularly significant in real life situations...

Hi Arash, Thank you for your welcome. Yes I got a hold of the guide a while back when I was considering giving birds a go. It was a really useful. I was inspired by the photographs in it. Mind you It was one of the reasons I went for the 500mm f4 lens so it turned out to be a more expensive...

Thanks Daniel. I have a Gtizo 3530LS and Katana Jr Gimbal so I should be all right with the stability but for sure, I'm taking all precautions to make the set up solid.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your reply. Yes, the £s spent certainly racks up the ante a bit. That coupled with my inexperience is what's causing me anxiety. Both the lens and camera were purchases made as my last chance to buy gear like this and after this year, it would be financially out of the...

Hi all, I'm new to bird photography but with retirement coming I want to pursue this hobby. I have been a photographer for a number of years shooting family portraits, travel and events but have no experience of wildlife. Anyway,I just sold a fair amount of gear and my DSLR to buy an R5 and...

Where are you, Steve?

Steve, I'm in Kent originally from Glasgow but lived down South for about 30 years and I'm gradually getting acclimatised! :bg3:

Hi all. Sorry it's Bill here. I'm the OP and I messed up my log in and couldn't get back to Bill. Anyway I'm here again eventually! Henceforth known as Willie Thank you Gail, Steve, and Daniel, for your welcome.
