Anyone care to reveal a number or two? ISO? Shutter speed? Obviously at f/8 (at 600mm) or f/9.
The 200-800 appears to have a sweetspot around 600mm. The small jump from f/9 to f/8 together with the smallish jump from 800 to 600mm might be enough to get an ISO jump out of the worst noice and(!) chromatic aberration.
I have to try out this trick. Forcing myself to use anything but 800 when I have it available and feel I need 800, that takes some intelligent thinking that usually is lacking at those moments of excitement...
Edit: This is with the R5 and the R52. The chromatic aberration is nothing major, but it is visible at 100% peeping and adds to a minor weakness at high ISO. This was at long distance, about 400m. It´s likely to vary with distance, also for the better.
Any correction has to decide whether it is CA or noice or the reality. I´m no noice reduktion vizard. Perhaps our glorious AI does well with the corrections?
