Being only about 4-5 inches, pygmy marmoset is the smallest monkey in the world. It is skittish and it just stayed up in the tree. I had to use a 2X TC while sitting on a small ladder to get some decent images. To a certain degree that focal length creates the impression that it was taken close to an eye level. In reality, it wasn’t even close….

From the data you shot this at 1/50s at 1200mm, thats 5 stops past the reciprocal rule! How do you stabilize the lens? It sounds like you were sitting on a ladder. Is this handheld, but propped against something? Did you take a bunch of photos and get a few sharp? Do you vary SS and ISO and review in post until you come across the min ISO that is still sharp?

Very impressive photo!!

Thank you! There was a ladder there indeed and I used it for a few shots. Even then I used my tripod with one leg extended to support the camera/lens. And I didn’t go up that high, at max 3-4 steps only. At times, I used just the tripod on the ground albeit a little lower. To be honest, I don’t remember whether that particular shot came from the gear on the tripod or on a ladder with the tripod acting as a monopod.

I usually post my shots in the A1 thread even though I do use the 600GM most of the time. But today was trying out the A7RV so I'll post them here.

And? What do you think? It looks like the camera is performing well for you, Geoff!

So far I think the AF has as good, if not better, consistency than the A1. But the shooting experience with blackout MS or slideshow ES (plus risk of distortion) and being limited to 10FPS is frustrating. After a full morning of A7RV shooting I picked up the A1 for the last 20mins shooting kestrels and it was just 1000x easier to keep them centred in the frame and fire as they flew around. I'm not planning to keep the camera, never was. Just wanted to see what advancements Sony had made over the past 2 years. Lots of little things that have improved over the A1 generation. Bring on the A9III or A1II....I'm ready Sony

Your images are excellent regardless of the camera you use, Geoff but the camera is indeed a superb performer. I am impressed with that camera and have used it a lot, except for birding. Just like you mentioned, it is not the AF and the tracking since the A7r V holds its own in those aspects, but the blackout-free shooting experience is indeed a god-sent feature for those fast actions.
