Hi all,

My Canon MK3 came back from the AF adjustment recall yesterday, so I decided to take it out this morning to see how it performed. The camera worked fine and I didn't notice much difference ( if any ) to be honest. I'll try it out on smaller subjects over the coming days and see how it performs then.

Canon 1DMK3, 300mm, f6.3, 1/800 +1.67, ISO400.

C&C welcome

Cheers

Austin

That's really nice! I'm envious because I tried this today without success.

Very nice indeed.. Like the small amount of movement in the wing tips..
