It's all fun and games with the CD3W until you need to shoot a portrait. Flip it over, and there's no way to adjust the up/down camera tilt using the 3 knobs. You have to twist the camera on the mounting plate, at which point it starts to unscrew. Please correct me if I'm missing something or using it wrong.

Maybe you have a bad copy? I remember years ago when the EF 100-400 just came out. Most were thrilled with it, but a handful of photographers were complaining that it just was not sharp. Turned out, some of them weren't. Before you sell it I would send it to Canon to have it checked. I just got mine and it seems quite sharp at 800 f9. I have a friend who got his a month ago and has been shooting it extensively, and he is thrilled to death with the thing. Nearly all the other UA-cam guys and gals are happy as well. Of course, and you know this, a lens that long shines filling the frame with relatively close subjects (small birds are perfect), and not trying to bring in distant subjects (due to atmospheric interference...unless conditions are ideal). Clearly, it does have some drawbacks (f9), but for the price! And the reach!

Phil, did you change red/blue channels?

Is it possible to do this in a Nikon d800 with the 200-500mm? Thanks! Nice pictures!

Thanks for the demonstration. It is helpful. I am puzzling if I can achieve the same result by using a large f number aperture.

Original Nikon Z6 has the best image quality of Nikons current mirrorless line up imo

I have bought zoom 18-140, and I think my choice is better. I bought my camera and lens from B&H as a bundle, and they sold me the lens with $200 discount. And the last thing I'm going to is to buy adapter and older F mount lenses.

Do you plan on doing any bird photography out in Vegas?

I just purchased a Z8 and the best feature of that body is the ability to use full IBIS for lenses that don't have a VR system on it. You're getting way more VR to go lower shutter speeds when hand held. I'm curious to know how good is the weather sealing on this specific lens and when used in conjunction with the FTZ II adapter on the new mirrorless systems. I know for sure that the FTZ II is weather sealed and so is the Z8. Just wanna know if you ever got caught up in inclement weather with this lens on.

Hi Phil, Just wondering if you came across a setting where the flash pops up automatically when reaching a minimum shutter speed ???

Hey, Phil. I have a converted Canon DSLR and my tree leaves come out white, something about how IR sees photosynthesis happening in the leaves. So I am curious why the IR filter doesn't act the same. Interesting. Do you know? Thanks.

Infrared photography has always fascinated me. These look great. Look forward to the Vegas shots.

Nice shots looking forward to seeing the Los Vegas videos😂 Thank you Phil

Nice shots. I love the sky just as you captured it!

Phil, I don’t know if you’ve ever been to Las Vegas for photography but you need to pick an evening and ride up to the top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris before sunset. It costs $15 (unless they’ve gone up…🤦🏻‍♂️) but worth it. You are fenced in but there are a few larger holes that you can shoot through. You can get some good shots of the strip as the sun goes down and the casino lights become prominent. 👍🏻

I have acquired a magnetic infrared filter from Maven Filters that will make this type of photography much easier moving forward.

I have never really considered this kind of photography to be honest but now you have me interested… your a bad influence…on my wallet! 😂👍📸📸📸📸

Thanks Phil! First I’ve seen about infrared shooting. I wish you would have had the time to take one of these shots non-infrared as comparison. Maybe another time. I’d like to see the difference and also get your take on the advantages of using the filter.

Nice shots! Most Infrared shots i see have the tree leaves too hot, nice job..I have always wanted to do some infared photography but just haven't left the birds alone long enough to get into it :)

Nice work Phil. I’m looking forward to seeing your pics from Vegas. Been a while since I was there. Will you have time to check out the Grand Canyon?

Another great video Phil. I really like the way you explain what you do and are very transparent with your creative choices. I appreciate your candor mate! Well done … I would love to see your work flow some day… ❤

Nice job Phil !!! ❤

Nice photos! I hope to hear back! So I have the canon r7, and mostly want to shoot sports and maybe some here and there portraits. Would you recommend going for the 70-200MM or switch to Sony and go for some 3rd party 70-200MM lenses ?

If you want to do a video on a product you purchased, try learning and knowing what you're doing and talking about. You don't know what you've purchased of what you were doing, a complete waste of time.

Nikon please make a mirrorless D500 with bird autofocus! If they do that then the 180-600 lens is the king for sure

Some great results with a simple rig.

Thanks for the very interesting video. You make things so easy to understand and put into practice.

Does the battery hub charge the battery without plugging?

Great, does this come with batteries?

Phenomenal RF lens! Canon is awesome 😊.

Are there any issues using silent shutter and photographing birds? I have it on my Z 5 too. I have used it with bird photography when I'm close to the bird spot.

A+

I like the soaking wet shots. If I was a bird, I would be happy to be in the rain. Thanks Phil

Great street photography! I really liked the shot of the Umbrella Alley from the parking garage.

LOVE that panning blur at 1:48 - that is awesome. Thanks for sharing these. 🤗

how is the EVF with spectacles? being only 1 cm, is it easy to use with spectacles?

Excellent architecture shots!

6:37 I've been in that alley a couple times in the past month and never notice that broken light fixture. Good spot on that

Excellent, inspirational content as usual, Phil! You have a gift for making interesting subjects out of everyday stuff. I have GOT to make a street photography trip to Chattanooga!

Some nice pics Phil. Good to see around near where you live. Thanks for the video 🙏

Enjoyed this street photography vlog Phil. At 10:39 in - I would’ve laid the wine glass on its side and tried to get the lipstick in focus. 💋 Enjoyed all the photos and your dialog. 👍🏼💜👍🏼

Enjoyed the video and the narration about all of the shots that you took.

I really need to get down there to do some street photography.

I want to try doing panning motion shots. Those look really good. Great shots as usual!

Great video and some really interesting shots!

Great shots! I’m glad you’re loving the Chonk! Really enjoyed our time together.

R7’s AF challenges are holding the 100-500 back a bit. The R6/100-400 combo look great ! 😮 Just from my eyeballs….

Quick question Phil: In this instance, with the focal plane kind of being the same as opposed to say, a flower slanted away from or towards the camera, do you think f/8,9,or 10 would've given you a pretty sharp image as if you focus stacked? Probably not huh? (I pulled the trigger on upgrading from the EOS R to the R5, it should be here in about a week.)

Just what I was looking for. the settings on the camera. I will use them on my R7. Thanks😃
