Re: Should be fast - or faster

Le Kilt,

Thanks for posting.

The EF 300mm f2.8 (1st version) was introduced in 1987 (!), and lacks improvements to AF speed found in the latest versions, with the result that such older lenses will not focus with the same agility as the newer lenses. Also, I hear that the frame rate with old lenses is reduced over what the R7 can achieve with current lenses. I would like to know if my old lens will be viable in terms of fast performance for bird photography and sports.
