I pulled the trigger for the native Siggy 135F1.8 yeaterday. I should get it wednesday.

I’ll check out the wide open sharpness and AF speed vs the 85GM

dji go 4 app is pretty lacking for panos but it is fully auomated, u point th drone in the middle of what u want to pano and it will do a 180 degree pano, 90 each way from the center taking 18 shots i believe,u ,merge them in light room yourself,if u want the best possibe panos i sujest using the app called litchi, the pano feature in there is 10 fold better than dji app, u can adjust the degree, 90-135-180 etc and anywhere inbetweem and u adjust how many rows and how many pics per row, and most imprtanlty u can bracket each shot, so if i shot a pano 135 degrees with 2 rows of 5 images and used 3 shot 1ev bracketing i would have 30 images to merge,i merge the brackets first then merge the 10 high res files to my final pano,u cant do any of that in dji app, litchi is far better in that regard, its all i use on my mavic 1. i think they offer a demo trial on there app as well, its worth the time to try it out.

thanks for the info, I’ll have a look. I was just planning on doing panos manually by rotating the drone myself

Typical Disney food. It's pretty good, but not great It all starts tasting the same after a while no matter how much they theme it up for different areas lol.

This is very true.

There are a few very good sit-down restaurants in the resort areas (California Grill at Contemporary, with that perfect view of the fireworks to boot!) and Disney Springs (Morimoto Asia, Peking Duck there is worth every penny), but the food in the parks should be supplemented with meal-replacement bars when possible. You'll save money, time and your taste buds.

your timer delay isn’t on by mistake is it? I’ve had that before when I accidentally left the 5 sec timer on

No. I will literally be shooting a few shots, works fine for a few, then suddenly chokes. Not a buffer thing either. It just doesn't go...

From the other day...caught in flight.

Nailed it! Sweet Shot Gene!

a behind the scene of a friend i assisted yesterday. of course i have some shots too but later.

My back yard resident. He won't let you get too close, so he is an ideal subject for the 100-400.

Have you tried resetting everything back to factory defaults....maybe something has gotten messed up in your settings? What shooting mode does it happen in?

I think it happens when I have ISO on auto. Maybe in M mode with ISO on auto. I’m paying more attention now but it hasn’t happened again. Isn’t that how it goes? Lol

Edit: It just happened again. Aperture priority with EF 24-70 mounted to the MC-11. I had just switched to having the level on the rear display. The level was still updating, but nothing else was. Incidentally, when I moved my thumb over the sensor to switch to the EVF, it fired. Took a bunch more shots of my dog and it wouldn't do it again. Now I have to go delete dog pictures and try again. lol

Edit 2: Ok so the thumb thing was a coincidence, but the display thing seems to be the trigger. I switched off the level and next shot it froze again.

Just did more experimenting switching back and forth and it never did it again. I think it does it when I try to squeeze the trigger really slow and steady. It's like it doesn't register the switch and then it just gets stuck waiting. If I hit the shutter, it works. If I squeeze it really slowly trying to hold the camera very still, it seems to get stuck.

Edit 3: Ok, last edit. Seems if I get focus, hold the shutter down where focus is active for a long time, then hit it to take the picture, it just hangs.

that is pretty odd...does the r3 have touch screen?

From C&O this past weekend...I walked around the whole time with the 70-200GM on the a9...
