Dear Jeff, tnx for sharing. When you are talking about planning the ski jump shot you mention wishing you had the 100-400 but you shot it at 560mm so the 100-400 would have been 160mm short. Would the 20 Mps spread over the full sensor of the Dx1mII support 160mm of cropping? In general do you find you have to heavily crop? I assume that with such long lenses and low pixel density you wouldn't. I have the 6D which is a FF with similar pixel density to the 1Dx mII and I have/shot the 70-200 and 100-400 with and without a 1.4x extender and when I crop heavily it doesn't look good. Whereas my 7D mII can handle much more cropping. So up to what % can you crop the 1Dx mII and still get usable results?
It would have been easier to handhold. Although I would have been at 400mm instead of 560mm, I could have moved a little closer and cropped with little data loss.
Jeff, awesome presentation, as usual. I'm always inspired by your passion for photography and constant quest to get something different. Thank you.
Outstanding imagery and presentation. Thank you!
