Orlando (FL) Wetlands with R5 & 16mm f/2.8

[TonyB]

I always put the 16mm f/2.8 in my bag if I’m not taking the 14-35. It’s pretty much invisible in there so why not. I decided to mount it to the R5 last weekend while checking out the new boardwalk at the Orlando Wetlands. It’s great to have this flexibility without the weight when primarily shooting wildlife.

You just about have me sold on the lens. I love how the contrails create a focal point. in the top one.

Thanks. I don’t think you’d be disappointed with the performance of the 16mm at its price-point.

Just ordered it today.

Nice. I've got a Canon RF 16mm F2.8 STM lens on my R6 but hardly ever use it for some reason. Do you use it for anything apart from landscape? Can anyone post some different types of images taken with this lens?

Took this for a 52 Frames weekly photograph.

I decided to go out with only the 16mm lens on my camera

.. think I'll persevere with it, but I find it more difficult to use than other lenses .. might just need more practice. The first is at the Sydney modern gallery, the next at the underground Tank gallery there, and a busker in St James station.
