Greetings! Yet another RF-mount shooter arriving in from DP Review.

I'm currently living in Reston, Virginia, and while my primary photographic interest is things which fly (living or inanimate, like 'em both), but I don't restrict myself to that. I've been into photography and using Canon since 1980, when I started with a Canon A-1 FD mount film SLR. I also had a T-90, an EOS-3 (which I still have), a few DSLRs culminating in a 5D Mark IV. I came on board mirrorless with the R5 in 2020 and haven't looked back. I have two bodies--an R3 which gets used primarily on aircraft and an R5 which is primarily used on birds. I've pretty much cycled years of EF-lens acquisitions to convert over to RF, but find myself getting the most use out of the RF 100-500.

As an introductory picture, here's an immature hawk taken with the R5 and the RF 800 mm f/11. The picture was taken in a sleet storm out my back deck door here in Reston.

Welcome to the forum Robert. Nice capture of the hawk.
 
Welcome Robert and thanks for joining up here and introducing yourself. Lovely hawk shot too! Looks very similar to our buzzards. If you have any questions about this forum please don't hesitate to ask.
