Thanks for your comments. When I put the collar on the lens with the pin fully retracted I can feel it snap as the pin clears the inclined portion of the detent.  The knob will advance and retract ...

This is a view of the knob and ring mounted on my RF 100-500. This is what the ring on my RF 70-200 looks like.  It does not move in the slightest when the knob is tightened.

Thanks for the response.  I'm here at Bosque del Apache with two fellow photo club members that each have the R5 and RF 100-500.  Their lenses do no rotate within the collars when they tighten the ...

Karl, The four strips inside the collar are intact and in good shape.  I have used it in cold weather - it has seen some very light rain/snow/sleet a couple of times.  I use a rain sleeve whenever ...

Thanks for the reply. No, the pin does not appear to be bent and travels smoothly in and out while turning the knob. ‘I have the camera on a tripod so that I can keep my hands in my coat pockets ...

I have a problem with the tripod collar on my RF 100-500 lens.  The collar will not lock down tight enough to keep the lens from rotating.  This is causing me no end of grief while tracking fast ...

I upgraded the firmware on my R5 to version 1.5 just before leaving on a road-trip to Bosque del Apache. While shooting today I encountered seven “Err 70” lock-ups.  I’ve had my R5 for 14 months ...

Captured with R5 + RF 100-500 this past weekend at the International Waterlily Collection in San Angelo, TX, USA.

Canon R5, Canon RF 100-500, 10-image focus stack.ISO 3200, 1/320s, f/8.0, 500mm. Cropped significantly from the original.

Wow, those are all wonderful!

Thank you.

Thank you.  I'm really enjoying the automatic focus bracketing on the R5.

Those are beautiful!  I love hummers too.

All images captured with R5 and RF 100mm macro.  Focus stacked with Helicon Focus.

The focus rail I have is a Kirk Photo FR-2+.

Thanks, I'm really pleased with how much easier and faster it is to capture images like this with the R5 compared to what I was doing previously with a Kirk focusing rail with my 7D MkII.

I pre-ordered the RF100 mm macro from B&H on announcement day and I just received it this past Friday.  I tried it out for the first time last night on some orchids I had purchased yesterday ...

DxO Photolab 4 supports CRAW.

I tried out Helicon Focus based on the recommendation of a fellow photo club member who has produced a wide body of incredible focus-stacked imagery using the tool.  I tried it myself and found ...

In my initial testing I set things up to take 100 frames.  72 of them were actually used to create this stack to get the everything from the near tips of the petals to the back of the leaf at ...
