Hi from Garnet Valley, PA

Hi All. Just was accepted into the group and wanted to introduce myself. I am an amateur shooting mostly sports and scenery when on vacations. I will be getting a R6 Mark II as soon as next week. Anxious to pull the trigger! A question... I saw an article in the Mark II Resources section where about 15 and about 5 fps were obtained with a 300 F2.8 v. I using electronic and mechanical shutters, respectively, versus about 40 and 15 with the second version. Does anyone else have similar fps experiences with version 1 lenses? Thanks and looking forward to learning and interacting with the group.

Welcome Martin and thanks for joining up here and introducing yourself. Regarding lens support for 40 FPS you might find this guide helpful: https://cam.start.canon/en/H001/supplement_0080.html

Hi Timothy. Thanks for responding. I found that information right after I posted to the Welcome Posts - of course. Took the plunge and bought a refurbished R6 II body from Canon and a used 300 F2.8 II from KEH. Got the EF to ER adapter, a few memory cards and an extra battery. Should get them next week. Then comes the big learning curve.

Take care.

Hey Martin, more like diving right in than 'taking the plunge' will take a while to get used to mirrorless but once you do you wont look back!
