Joshua these bird pics are just stunning! You nailed the focus and timing perfectly. It's amazing that you can get shots like this with a 400mm focal length lens. Most of the serious full time birders use 600 and 800mm lenses with teleconverters to get these kinds of captures. The combination of the great Sony 42 MP sensor and the Canon lens with some cropping can really work well together! Bravo
First few shots from the Batis 18 which I'm finding to be a sharp lens. Still feeling it out but AF was snappy and made shooting easy. This lens is great for interior shots.

Amazing shots Joshua great detail and with the 1.4X TC . Is that the Version III TC and if so do you find a big difference between the Version 1 or 2?
Canon should use them for advertising.

Thank you, Butch! Mine is a Mark III version. My understanding is optically all 3 versions are the same. It has to do more with weather sealing and AF algorithm but in the case of using that with a Sony body, it really doesn't matter.
I doubt very much that they will. As matter of fact, I knew that they wouldn't even endorse that practice .

Thank you, Chuck! I had the 1.4X TC for those shots and did some cropping, too. But you are right, that lens on the Sony A7r II is simply superb.

Thanks Guys
Stunnig shot Joshua
Thank you, Ronny! And your images do not stop to amaze me.
While shooting hummers I noticed that a dragonfly perched on a fern frond. I thought of you and took a shot. It was tiny and far away though and since I was shooting from a deck I couldn't get closer to it. I had to crop the final image to make it look semi decent. Well, here it is.
