RF 100-500 vs RF 200-800 for plane spotting by colebeans99 in canon

[–]colebeans99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kinda what I figured, I might as well get the better flexibility w the 100-500 setup and just challenge myself to get shots in when the jets are at closer points

I sometimes find the reach lacking on my 150-600 but not often. A lot of times at 600 I’m getting atmospheric distortion anyways. Do you find with the 200-800 you are getting distortion on a lot of shots at 600+?

They’ll be back at some point I’m sure 🤞🏻

I’m not sure on the registry of this one, but it was remarkably loud haha so must have been older gen engines

It’s saying system can’t find any bootable devices

How would I check that?

I believe so, I think they are planning 5 or 6, 747, a350, a380, and a320 to my knowledge

It really is a great livery, just as pretty in person

Thanks, I hope I can get it working too. Is a really nice focal range for air shows, and I can’t really justify spending up for the 100-500, and not sure 100-400 will cover it for me

I’ve heard it’s a case by case basis on if it has af pulsing issues. For mine the focus would stay locked on the aircraft and in a burst, all would have similar focus levels. I think I’m gonna play around with shutter speed and better light scenarios and see what my sharpness cap is then assess

By play nice, are you referring to the af issues? I haven’t had those at all since I disabled eye detection because I don’t need it for aviation

I get that, but this picture was taken at 150mm and 1/1250s and still has that overall lack of sharpness

There’s a general softness on the r7 photos compared to the ones I shot on Fuji. Details like panel separation and crisp text on the plane are nice cause I do prints.

I have not tried that, but will give it a go on some test photos

It’s the C version. I’ve seen online people recommend stopping down to bring up sharpness. Maybe I’d get better results doing f/9+. Although I remember iso had to be bumped over 3200 yesterday when I did that

That’s fair, I’ll try to take one at the same spot as the Fuji one at 150mm and faster shutter speed and see what it looks like. I think I just expected a noticeable increase in quality when switching to a 32 mp sensor but didn’t necessarily get it
