Daniel - I think this shot of Janice looking directly at the camera is very impressive.

I'm curious, how successful are you all with these tack sharp photos shot WO? I can shoot like 10 and maybe get one dead on. I know, I'm pretty bad. Great thread.

My success rate is higher, but it varies quite a bit with the way I shoot. When the subject doesn't move and I use live view from a tripod, it is pretty much 100 percent. I have a 5D MKII and with the Eg-S screen that is quite useful when I use the viewfinder. If something isn't moving very fast and I have time to focus bracket I get about 70 percent within a set of bracketed shots. That certainly improves with practice and I have now ordered a Sony A7 II and I hope to do even better and not need focus bracketing so much with that camera. So the bottom line is that it varies with the situation, technique, equipment, and practice, but the bottom line is that it quite doable.

Thanks Steve. Right now, I'm still using a 5D with a Leica 90mm f2 R apo (w. a fotodiox w. focus confirm that's pretty useless, the red focus light only flashes for a sec) and I'm not good. I guess I'll just need to keep practicing Though I am considering a M9 or A7ii right now. Heading to Tamarkin tom to check the M9 out. But, live view is tempting...

it takes a lot of practice. on unmoving targets i'm better than 95% with the a7 through the unmagnified evf. on a film slr i'm about 90%. once subjects starts moving accuracy drops rapidly depending on how fast and erratic the subject.

That's exactly why I'm so amazed on many of these shots with children, dogs/puppies, cats etc...I look at that shot and tell myself "I could never get that one" But to be honest, I've never tackled these shots with the thought I could actually nail these with practice. I'm middle aged and continue to forget 'practice makes perfect'.
Thanks for the encouragement guys!

PS If I may ask, what's the preferred adapter you all are using? Could my older fotodiox be part of the problem? (R to EOS)

This is my first post on FM, but I've followed this particular thread for a few years. Now that I've officially registered, I thought I should contribute with some of my own...
