*** Your R System Images - January ***

Haha, thank you! I should print more. We've had crazy skies lately.

Early yesterday morning at Pigeon Point Lighthouse was nice: 16mm RF2.8 handheld

I had been thinking about whether or not I wanted this lens but this photo made the decision for me...yes I do want it.

FYI, without the Adobe profile correction it distorts a ton, but that said I'm happy with it, especially at $300. This was is my work building:

I wondered why the ball kept getting bigger, then it hit me.
 
Gorgeous, Fun to discover these things on a walk. Proves it is always good to take along your camera. -- Great shot.
 
Thanks for the compliment! Yes, I had a camera and binoculars with me. Took this shot and saw a beautiful King Fisher through the bino's. A great walk it was !
 
The British did build some really fine looking planes.

The Comet and the TSR2 always stand out for me.

What is that 4 engined one with RAF markings, looks like a Dakota DC3, but not

Is that a Concorde in the background? I thought the Concorde was Frenchy. The Harrier is cool. Amazing feat of engineering. I'd like to build a model of it.
 
I received my R3 at the end of December. Since I was scheduled for a business trip at the end of the month, I headed out to the for a few test shots. I was curious about AF performance and was not disappointed. I have bad eyesight and birds are always a challenge, especially when tucked behind foliage. I set the camera on full area animal eye detect and pointed the camera in the general area of a couple of birds and the AF point immediately jumped to the birds eye. I hit BBF and the camera stuck on the eye or immediately reacquired lock as the birds eye was blocked by the limb. I don’t think my R5 would have matched this performance. I look forward to my next wildlife trip. Not sure how the upload will look, but extremely sharp on my computer. Very little editing on this image since was a test.

Currently at Duxford there is a Spitfire exhibition, displaying 11 operational Spitfires and one that will be restored to operational flying.

With the other Spitfires that are at Duxford you can see about 16 operational planes.

An epic and historic aircraft! Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
 
Been enjoying your new ? lens then?
I am very much so! I loved the results of the MkII and the MKIII is an excellent upgrade. Very sharp at 16mm wide open!

Interesting it’s noticeably heavier than the MkII, but we all have our crosse’s to bear 🤣

And what an amazing saving buying it from HDEW made!!
