Re: Both EF 300mm f2.8 L and L IS, not fully compatible

John crowe:

Thank you for taking time for a detailed answer. It addresses my concerns over the use of the EF 300mm f2.8 (1st version). I also found a YouTube video that notes the performance of a similar vintage lens to the one in question (an EF 400mm f5.6) on the R7, as well as other lenses one might use for bird photography. In this video by YouTuber Duade Paton, various lenses are evaluated on the R7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qv3TxfZTttE

Useful point from the video related to the EF 400mm f5.6

  • 100% focus coverage over entire APS-C frame
  • The eye tracking works
  • Body IS alone is insufficient for shake free photos
  • AF works with extenders
