Can you use the lens successfully on a Nikon D850?

I like to use this function on my Canon R7, stacking is done in camera, it produces a JPEG. Works fast and I like the results.

Thank you for such a clear and informative video!!

Are you sponsored by canon?

Best video for setting up the R5. Clear and so easy to follow. Thanks you Janine.

I got joined by the wallet to Canon in 2004 when I went ‘all in” with a 8MP 20D with EF-S 10-22mm, 24-70 mm 2.8 L and 70-200mm 2.8L and a pair of 580ex flashes I used for non-professional PJ shooting for my church and at work when photo were needed. I last upgraded to a 15MP 50D in 2008 because it and my good glass more met may needs until last year when I decided to photograph bird and other small animals. My first step was to buy a 2X converter for the 70-200mm not expecting the IQ to be stellar but on par with a 200mm capture cropped and resized with some Photoshop mojo until Canon released the R6mkII which checked off all boxes for me. I initially used the R6mkII with my EF lenses to see how the added megapixels would affect results, using the Canon EF-RF adapter for stills and Meike VND adapter for Clog3 video. I then decided to buy the RF100-500mm, RF 800mm f/11 and most recently added a second R6mkII body. If planning to shoot only stills I carry the two R6mkll with the 100-500mm and 800mm. If planning on shooting stills and video I’ll use the 100-500mm on one body and used the Meike VND adapter and either the EF 24mm-70mm or EF 70-200mm. I don’t use the 2x converter with the 70-200mm unless I’m shooting video from a tripod. The EF-S 10-22mm mostly lives on the 50D for wide establishing shots but I have used it on the R6mkII with Meike VND for cropped 1080p videos. I started doing PJ work in 1971 with a pair of Nikon Fs with 35mm and 85mm lens suspended a strap attached just the right side and set-up both my R6mkII bodies with Small Rig cages which have QD swivel socket on the bottom. I added Kirk feet with QD sockets to the 100-500mm and 800mm and bought two cross shoulder straps X with Kirk QD swivels. This set-up gives me the option to suspect the camera and lens from the bottom of the cage or with the RF lenses the QD connector on the foot. I find it actually more comfortable carrying two cameras on each hip than one because the weight is distributed evenly.

stop helping the africans. they are trying to destroy natures wildlife.

The most god awful accent in the world!!

I was hoping I could get information from you on the adjustable tripod type set up you have? I’m disabled and it looks like it moves pretty freely for you which may help me a great amount. Thank you for any help.

Be there end of August! Can’t wait!

We'll be joining you on Chobe safari next March. Although my EF 100-400mm II has been my go-to lens for wildlife for years, I'm considering the RF 100-500mm. However, your comment about inconsistent auto focus performance in lowlight situations concerns me. After 2+ years of experience with this lens, have your '1st impression' concerns remained about this lens?

Perfectly explained, finally I understand all focus modes. Thank you

❤❤❤ Great video! Can’t wait to go!

Welcome to my genre 👍🏻 great job! Cheers from Texas!

hi there any pointers as to why the A9II EVF would show so many artifacts ( purple blue moire ) and has so little resolution especially while half pressing the shutter ?

Love the content & amazing tips❤

Magnificent! Would love to photograph Pumas. I've been travelling to South America since the 1980's. I think you could easily combine Pumas with Southern Right Whales in Peninsula Valdes Argentina and Esteros Del Ibera Argentina(second largest wetlands after the Pantanal) Argentina, for birds and other wildlife. Rewilding Argentina has reintroduced Jaguars, Giant Otters and other wildlife that was historically found in Esteros Del Ibera as well.

"Spaghetti arms"... LOL, join the club

Beautiful!

Wow - What a great video...Patagonia is such a special place and as usual, you captured it famously!

I love your work

Thank you

Wow, nearly 700 comments by June 2024, maybe you should update this video with the latest gear? As a Nikon and Olympus user I did notice a few things. The stabilisation on Olympus gear is usually comfortably better than other brands, despite the quoted figures. The same goes for weather sealing. When did we see (in an advert) a water sprinkler blasting a Canon or Nikon body? We saw lots of pictures, but it was 25 mins before we saw a shot in really low light, so perhaps we are over emphasising this need. Finally, the new Nikon Z long lenses are more than half the price of the one you showed on the American website! That one also had a teleconverter built in (1.4X not 1.25X like the OM long zoom).

I completed a 6 day puma tracking trip in the same location in May, 2024. Your video perfectly captures the key questions and issues to consider for such a trip. We likewise were skeptical of going so far to photograph "just one species." I lived in Africa for 20 years and did many photographic trips there and around the world. Even so, Patagonia is now amongst our favorite locations. The pumas are stunning and the landscape is spectacular. And being able to get out and hike takes the whole experience to another level. As you note, one should be in decent shape to take this on - trying to keep up with a puma is not easy. Sure take the prime lens but a shorter zoom is absolutely essential (I used a 100-400 mm) to allow you to capture the pumas in their stunning environment. Great job on the video as it provides all the essential information, relevant and accurate tips on what gear to bring, and answers all the key questions one should consider for such a trip. Bravo!

Always the best!

Love to go back to Patagonia but it was for work commitments not photography at the time. Fabulous video.

My Canon R10 camera is capable of both bracketing and stacking - only if Auto focus is engaged. Would flash work with it?

Always informative

These are not wild pumas.

Son pumas improntados, no son totalmente salvajes. Ningún puma salvaje se va a parar a esa distancia de una persona.

Your reviews, like this one, are always honest and informative. Well done!

Absolutely beautiful both pumas and landscape. Thank you for peaking my interest. Please could you show your camera settings with the pictures

This is basic sharpening😅

If you are addicted to a long lens, I can well imagine that a short lens feels a bit awkward. In that respect it might be an idea to switch to the compact Om camera system😂😂

Awesome!!! Never been but on my buket list with Pentanal.... Now being there with Pangolin.... yep I would be in !

Totally agree you could not pass up the opportunity to get landscape shots from such an amazing place

Amazing video, definitely a life changing trip. The Images captured were outstanding (as usual Janine).

Brilliant, Janine!

Stunning images Janine ‼️

while this is a good mode to shoot in for most people - I personally hate man+auto Iso - plus exp comp in this mode is only changing your ISO - this setting will get it wrong as much as it gets it right - especially with animals and birds that have both white and black on them, you'll find it blows the whites nearly every time. I switched to full manual and can't think of a time where it has cost me a shot because I needed to change my settings - for the record I only float my iso when shooting full manual - because I'm rarely willing to give in on my SS or Ap setting.

Wow! That's absolutely gorgeous. I'd come for the pumas, but how could you not absolutely love the spectacular scenery.

Both the pumas and the landscape 🙃

Excellent work. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Janine, your vids are always the best!

So glad you and Guts got to explore some landscape photography too at this magical place. 🙂Gorgeous pics!

Beautiful landscape shots Janine. I would go for both the pumas and the landscapes.

Oh My!!! That was wonderful! Thanks so much!

Simply beautiful! Thanks so very much for letting us tag along and sharing your wonderful images!

You have the chops! those are amazing photos! SO many places to visit, and so little time! I'd love to go there.

Beautifull lanscapes!!!
