Bracketting lor...

Generally I will use somewhere around 1/10sec at f4 ISO 1600 to begin with.. then bracket.

Good luck.

Heres a couple of shot...taken with the 400mmf4.5+1.4x TC wide open shot - f6.3 effective aperture with TC - physically f4.5 on host lens.

To achieve the optimal sharpness for the two shots, i used the 2sec timer with mirror-up.
Used ambient lighting.

Great catch....the bird very cooperative for you to use timer as well. How close were you to the bird ?

wow, 780mm equivalent big gun. boss, your bird photography just went to the next level. love the sharpness and the colours. even with the 1.4 tc and wide open still so sharp!

Hiee Bro...

I almost missed tho opportunity for good sharp shots as i was so too sucked up shooting 5 rounds in series and i then did a magnified check on th eimage ad then realised that all of the shots were soft resultin gin smeared feathere and eye catchlight...

Luckily remembered to use mirror-lock-up. Remember....cable release alone is not enough!!!...
The slapping of the mirror kills the details...since I was not using flash. The shutter speed was.....:devil: - 1/40sec!!!...Av: f6.3 @ ISO: 400

AS was on even on tripod as i was anticipating possible shakes due to the whole mechanical movements..

that's make me wonder, will hand held with 2 second timer further reduce shake or not??? :think:

Here is my new toy...

Everything seems to work but subject to testing... I am always impressed with vintage camera where its about 50 years and it is still working...

We are complaining about our digital slr is too old where it is only about 1-2 years old? hahaha.. time change isn't it?

Minolta Autocord Medium format TLR:

Equipment:
Dynax 7D
Minolta 35-70 f4 macro
2x 5600HS in wireless mode.

Details:
1/125 s
f16

I always find that the older f4 version lenses are pretty sharp, it is much convenient to use as compare to the 100mm f2.8 macro, because of the zoom.

Regards,

Hart
