Had some time so tried out DMK21 and a couple of shots with the DMK51. Not hard to guess which is which.

Hi Ralph
How did you find the slower frame rate with the DMK51?
Great pics BTW!

G Day Matt,
I was peeved at the slow 12fps of the DMK51 when I first got it. I new about but didnt realize just how slow it is.
I found one has to be organised and plan carefully which shots to run with. It just depends on the gap in cloud. Now I deem it normal. Of course if there is no cloud no big deal. I went inside with the DMK 21 running to get something and it scooted up to 5000 frames. If they make a 51 or better with 60fps I will be getting one.
I am starting to take shorter frame numbers when it pretty cloudy and stack them. It seems OK provided there is no big gaps of 10 minutes. No good with 3x Bar though.

I thought it may be a tough combo for close ups. In saying that I love using it for full frame disc shots at low res. Hope the clouds clear for you!!!

Thanks for the comparison.
