Download the free version of neat image, it's a cracking programme and along with removing noise it does sharpen as well, see https://ni.neatvideo.com/

When changing lenses try to keep the camera facing downwards to stop dust blowing in . and if you clean DO NOT apply pressure as you do it, its a simple contact and sweep across the sensor.

The top one could do with warming up a little on the colours, agree with what is said about being a little soft, I tend to use single point focus and try to hit it over the eye. Remember people critise to help not to appear rude, though sometimes that does not work out.

Not sure of the programme as I use Lightroom and photoshop, on the Hawk, the whites are burning out a bit, can you reduce either the brightness, white level, or possibly dehaze to bring them down a bit, other possiblity is to reduce the exposure then lift the shadows, but again i'm talking...

https://www.kenrockwell.com/canon/eos-r/r.htm Holy cow! The Canon EOS R works fantastically with teleconverters and the EF Lens Adapters, with fast, full-frame autofocus with my 100‑400L IS II and even when used with both my 1.4x and 2x converters at the same time! That's a 280‑1,120mm...

Personally I would look at used, something like this below as an example, but whatever you need to work out the weight of the camera and lens and then what the tripod is rated for... The older Manfrotto ally tripods such as the 190 are good, as is the heavier 55...

Bought my used EF500L from their Lincoln branch, took in my camera body, trusted to take it out of the store and take some shots with it in the street, ( mind you.. you wouldn't run far humping a 1DX with a 500MM on it lol ) told them I would check them before deciding, processed shots at home...

Cool :) .

How is it, you pleased with it?

An even cheaper set up is to use good old daylight, set up near a window and then use bacofoil / kitchen foil to bounce the light onto the subject, it gives an even natural light on the subject..

Yep, added the monopod I use with it, Dale, I will help out too if you need it,

Of course you can, Canon EF 500mm L and 1DX mounted on a Feisol CM-1471 monopod with a RRS MH-01 Monopod head.

Dale, I use my 500mm on a monopod to aid with stability. It might be worth thinking of one of those next.. I hope the lens lives up to expectations :) MPB are a good company, fair and you get a warranty.

Conversion kit here, company very good, quality up there close to RRS, he is a one man band type outfit, but do not let that put you off. He makes quality goods, I have some. This allows the use of both plates as it clamps into the existing set up...
