R5II, RF600f4, 2x, 1/3200s, f/10, ISO 3200, manual

Photographed at a local lake, I was impressed with the AF performance of the R5II with the 2x extender. It's quite a bit faster than the original R5, and it works well with fast-flying birds like this Kingfisher.

Excellent image, Axel- not a species we see photographed in-flight too often. Certainly, superb results from the new R5 MK2, with or without the teleconverter. No doubt that wonderful 600 RF F4, is a major factor in taking these images, as well.
