My oldest lens I recently sold was the 400/5.6L and it was lightning fast. I had no issue with H+ mode electric shutter. The R3 would be awesome one day I’ll pick one up.
I still use my EF 300mm F2.8L (bought in 1987) adapted to Panasonic and to Nikon! On my Z9 it works way better and faster than it did on any of my previous Canon cameras. Eye tracking and 3D tracking work without flaw and the in-body stabilisation is the icing on the cake because that first version did not have lens IS. The optical quality is fantastic (which is why I never upgraded it), the only negative is that it is not exactly quiet in focussing 😂, I am so worried that I might burn out the motors as it was obviously not designed back in the day to deliver such speeds and take so much power! I cannot wait to adapt it to the upcoming R1!👍🏾🙏🏾😎.
i'm not quite to an r3, but I bought a 1dx mark ii partially due to your praise of it, and it has been beyond excellent for me, so thanks for all the insight you provide for canon shooters!
Thanks for the vid. I've actually been interested in this. I have an older 300mm f2.8 IS and I adapt it to the Canon R6. The electronic shutter is really bad rolling shutter for sports. I'm guessing with the stacked sensor tech in the R3 you don't have that problem.
On some of the older lenses if you want to get the full 30 frames per second you have to shoot the lens in manual focus and not autofocus. I know this because I use an R3 and I have a EF400 F/2.8 L without IS. And when it's converted like that the only way to get those 30 frames per second is to shoot it in manual focus.
Hi there, No worries at all, I'm using the below; www.wexphotovideo.com/canon-mount-adapter-ef-eos-r-1674452/?_gl=1*1t9ok3g*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAjw68K4BhAuEiwAylp3khBq199n-YCCL6V9XHKwMuwudNL0fMWLSYoBS8sx3viR4u9GpgRz0hoCxjQQAvD_BwE
