A Few Shots with the R5 and RF 200-800

[Tronhard]

This is my latest in the series of shots to investigate the relative performance of different FF R bodies with the RF 200-800 lens, shooting hand-held, available (often very dim) light, because it's winter here and the sun is often not penetrating to the bush floor.  Again, I am shooting in the same environment, for comparison purposes.

If you have ever tried shooting otters, they are always on the go - extremely fast moving, yet to focusing system of the camera and lens was able to keep up - my reactions were the limiting factor!

This Kereru (Native Wood Pigeon) was in extremely dark bush - no direct light, and I was shooting through a lot of vegetation.  That is where my single point focus and metering came tot he fore.

Finally, the Kea - the only direct light was behind it on the vegetation.
