They’re all in 1080 (and some look worse). I capture in 4K and use it in 1080 projects, doing a lot of cropping/Ken Burns. I believe the few people who see my work will only ever view it in that format. I should probably do some in 4K for my own viewing pleasure on my tv .
Agreed on the lens- the only gear I've ever pre-ordered!

Enjoy your new gear and good luck!

They look sharp.

I did run them through Topaz NR, so there was some sharpening. I'm much happier with the AF performance.

Playing around with 100-400mm

A different question: Anyone using one of the available L-brackets for the 7?

I am using the SmallRig Mamba cage with a Peak Design capture plate on the side as an L-bracket. It allows full articulation of the screen while on the tripod head. I have the knob for the head clamp facing forward so it doesn't interfere. Very happy with it.

Thanks for the reply, Dave- I live in Boise and it can be really hot and sunny. I set it up on sticks in the sun to do some remote shooting (as done with my R), and it overheated in minutes. I had same issue with the R, which I covered in white, but not to that extent. Unacceptable for me.

I haven't been doing as much video lately because of the weight issue as well. Can't carry around anything like the old (and great!) rig that I had in the past.
I bought the 100-400 to have a more nimble walk-around photo setup, and since I'm thinking of getting a gimbal, the lighter weight there would be a real plus.

I suspect all the mirror less cameras of any make are prone to overheat, I know the R7 runs much warmer than any of my DSLRs.

Turning down the VF update rate might help with the heating.

Any kind of shade you can rig up to keep the direct sun off should reduce the heat issue a lot. A white cover will still warm and conduct heat.

Just got myself a Laowa 100mm f/2.8 CA-Dreamer 2x Macro lens in Canon EF Mount. The reason I didn't buy in RF mount is because I can use it on multiple bodies with an adapter rather than just the R7. Anyway, nothing much out there here in the UK at this time of year but we actually had a little bit of sunshine outside for the first time in months so here is a test shot.

Look forward to using it in the summer but will probably keep my EF 100mm L macro as well for the stacking ability of the R7

Is that a manual stop down lens?

Manual focus but this one does the stopping down via the camera and electronic contacts.

I had the MP-E65mm at one time but rarely used it to it's full potential so sold it and bought this Laowa ... I prefer the working distance as well.

Ah ok good to know.

On the MP-E I still use mine a lot.

Only tried it once with the R7 as a test. Although the VF display is bright the frame rate slows down.

I saw that movie with Vincent Price. "Help me".

Apparently Kirk now have an L-Plate for the R7 but the link is similar to the R5 but the pic is different.

Any one tried it on the R7?

Any UK suppliers?
