As part of my preparations for my trip to Snowdonia next year I decided to visit Cissbury Ring. This is somewhere I haven’t been to before even though it’s almost on my doorstep so to speak. I could have driven all the way there as there is a car park on site but instead, I chose to hike from Titch Hill right outside Sompting. Although the distance was only 2 miles each way it still took me 40 minutes each way to hike there from where I parked On Titch Hill and back. Contrary to what some might think the South Downs isn’t flat on top and it’s not just chalk based there’s plenty of clay there too.
This was my second outing with my new Canon EOS R and this time I chose to field test the 24-105mm RF F/4 IS lens. I did get some shots that I am happy with though the IS didn’t perform as well as I expected so I had quite a few blurred shots which was disappointing, I think next time I will use a monopod to help with the stabilisation.
I think I may have to consider Tamron’s EF 35-150mm F/2.8-4 Di VC OSD as a possible alternative to the RF 24-105.
