EOS R EF 100-400(original) 2xtcII at 800mm (one shot single point AF right below eye) f16 1/1250 ISO 10000
Went to anhinga trail (Everglades National Park) this morning with my old 100-400 and 2xtcII to see if the EOS R would indeed AF with f11 glass. This was the first grab shot right at sunrise. This beauty was up about 25ft on top of a pond apple. I am still knocking the rust off, learning the camera and am a beginner in post processing expertise. This body, however, has lots of potential. This is old glass, but with newer versions you can walk around with a very light 200- 800mm rig. I did run NI on the BG but not the shadows in the bird (should have). I know the pond apple is far from an ideal perch, just wanted to give info on EOS R capabilities. I did remember from previous experience these TCs (1.4 and 2x) are decently sharp only when you stop down. I spent the morning(very few birds this morning) at f8-f11 and the EOS R AF worked fine.
