Although this photo isn't really up to snuff with many of the photos on this thread, as a new R5 owner, the ability to crop images is simply amazing. This is a 2MP crop (1900x1200) from a 45MP image and I'm impressed!
A juvenile black-crowned Night Heron. Took this image last night.
Handheld at 1200mm, 1/2500, and f/8.
I have just started using my 2x Extender with my R5 and 600mm f/4L IS II; I have used this combination now on two separate occasions. I've been very pleased with the overall results. The sharpness and focusing consistency is way better than what I experienced with my 1DX2.
My only issue is that on both occasions using the 2x Extender, my R5 has locked up. I've gone an entire year with only one previous lock up using early firmware. Hope this won't be a long-term problem... Each time I'm using ES and shooting bursts. The IS on the lens is on, and set to Mode 2. I'm also using a ProGrade 325 Combat CFExpress card, and the camera is running the latest firmware.
The first lock up I had was an Err 70, and the camera said it had trouble writing to the card. The screen went black, then the Err 70 message came on, and I pulled the battery. With the second lock up, the screen froze and just went black; there was no message, etc. I pulled the battery again. After each battery pull the camera went on to take several thousand more frames and didn't have further issues.
