    That's great feedback on the 200-800. I guess design tradeoffs always come into play. For example, with regards to low cost, low weight, and high IQ --- you can have only two of those, but never...

    Wow great series Brant! SEOs are so fun to photograph and I'd love to do that with the R5.

    Brant and Neuro -- thanks for the great info. The screw-on filter from Thousand Oaks is a good option for sure, although it might be better to just use one of them. Then you could view the eclipse...

    Pikas are one of my most favourite animals to photograph -- when I see them my head just about explodes. We came across a colony of them on a hike in Banff, and I could not stop taking pictures. My...

    Can you let me know which lens hoods you got for the Canon 10x42? I have the same binos and agree that it's tough to attach the filters to it. I tried the size 50 first and it was too small. Then...

    The key parameters for me are focus, frame rate, and buffer size. I want a camera that can lock on the focus quickly, and then let me lean on the shutter for long bursts without slowing down. ...

    Regrets, I'm going to miss it. For me, an annular eclipse is pretty cool, sort of like a lunar eclipse, but not "exciting" enough to warrant a special trip. I did see one in San Diego about 30...
