mccamli Goldmember  More info | May 29, 2019 22:31 | #18167 I'd a lucky encounter this morning. I was just doing a quick test of my Tamron 150-600mm on my EOS R following a firmware update and had a lucky encounter with an osprey being dive bombed by a feisty fantail.

I find those shots pretty tough when they are coming right at me. Thank you very much, Mike! I was thinking this is not the standard Mallard with green head. My main issue with head on shots is that many frames have the focus on the body, not eyes. I don't know if the next firmware upgrade with animal eye AF will work for birds in this situation

I don't know if the next firmware upgrade with animal eye AF will work for birds in this situation I've seen you mention that next upgrade that is due this summer. It will be so cool it it actually does focus on the eyes of wildlife (especially birds). I will be very jealous, for sure. LD, or Mike
