Not great but these were over 100 ft away and I cropped quite a bit

AF continues to impress me. I'd post a lot more shots but I'm concentrating on the Wild Birds of Europe thread since I'm only in Europe for a few months.

With the 1.4 TC which puts this at 1120mm.

Great shot, Zenon! Perfectly timed.

Looking good.

I think you mean 700mm plus 1.6x crop to be nit-picky.

Is this the R1.4x you are using?

Looks good in strong daylight, did you notice much slowing of AF etc?

Would be interested to here what the AF is like in lower light levels (.. as we normally get in the UK)?

Happy to see you AF resutls
On your first two photos - with such busy background, my R7 with 100-400 would not focus on the duck - will hunt...

Yes the R7 will hunt with a busy background, I use the shutter button for full frame focus but have the "AF ON" for spot focus and in a case like the ducks I have to try to get them with spot focus

No you aren’t. Best to explain it correctly. Still comes out to 1120. It sure feels like it hand holding.

I did not notice any significant slowing of the AF. I was out today and shot with the TC for most of it. AF is wicked on this body. I’m really surprised by it. I think I have a few decent shots.

I have yet to try low light out.

OK thanks, please do update us on the lower light performance if you can.

I was testing the Frame Grab facility from movie mode in camera on the R7.
This picture was dragged into PS CS6. No adjustments for colour, sharpening or anything else were made apart from a small crop for the forum.
Original screenshot 3840 x 2160 to 1600 x 1000.

Nice! Which movie mode were you using?

Hi Dave. Just used 4K fine and 25P.

Impressive.

Another one with the 1.4 TC. AF continues to impress me. It came out of nowhere and I only had seconds. It was about 30-40 ft away.

By the standards of my nit-pickery, it would be 700 divided by 3.2 microns, as far as anything similar to the concept of "reach" is concerned.

I don't know why people are so quick to apply crop factors to telephoto lenses, because they represent difficulty in handling; not any ability to get more subject detail. Anytime anyone starts thinking in terms of some benefit from a crop factor, they should ask themselves, "would I have that benefit with the 3.1MP APS-C EOS D30, with 9.5% the pixel density of the R7?"

What you can usually expect with these R cameras is that in very good light, you can use very high open f-ratios especially if you don't need lightning-fast acquisition, but as light falls to a certain level, AF gets really slow or moves in the wrong direction or can even fail completely with higher open f-ratios. What you don't want is exposure simulation enabled when light is so low that the viewfinder would be dark. What the AF can see is closely tied to what you see in the EVF. Too bright or too dark can make AF fail. This is a good reason not to set a max ISO lower than the camera's limit.
