TPF Noob!
I Added a Camera to my List: Canon EOS R8 RF 24-50mmF4.5-6.3 Lens
Started out along time ago with an Olympus SLR, then to a NIKON N65 SLR.
Then into Canon EOS Rebel T5 and a T4i. But was never satisfied with the picture results.
The Canon EOS R8 had a lot of the Specs of a Camera $1000 more than it, like the EOS R6 MK II. So $1200 for the R8 and basic lens seemed like a good deal for a
Full Frame Sensor and Mirrorless 24.2 MP. It had some short comings like Battery Life, but I added a Bottom Dual Battery Grip and it solved a couple of things I did not like about the R8.
and I liked the Camera, the Auto-Focus is fantastic, very fast. the Highest Shutter speed is disappointing at 1/4000 s. Overall I liked it.
Until This Past Weekend at a Volleyball Tournament, I was taking Pictures with a Friends 48MP Nikon Z9 with a Nikkor 70-200mm 1:2.8GI Lens with VR
and then it hit me how important getting a quality lens with a large aperture opening is. Indoor Sport shooting is challenge because of Low Light and Fast moving players.
All of my Pictures with the T4i and the R8 have some blur, not crisp and have no depth. being that I am an Amateur / Hobbyist Photographer investing on a setup like my friends $8000.00 Nikon Z9 setup
is well, not justifiable, and the RF Lenses are very expensive.
The First Picture is from a Canon T5 w/EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II ISO-3200 & F:4.5 Exposure time 1/250 the best I can get with the lens, The picture is washed out.
The 2nd one is from the NIKON Z 9, ISO-12800, F/2.8, Exposure time 1/1250, w/ VR 70-200mm f/2.8G Lens
it's Vivid, bright and clear.
The 3rd one is the Canon EOS R8, ISO-12800, F/4.0, Exposure time 1/1600, w/ EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 (EF to RF Adapter)
But I guess I am asking for is any Ideas on Lens options for a non Professional to get similar results to the Z9 from an R8 that will not require me to take out a 2nd mortgage.
