The sharp one distracts me from the juvenile. I think the blurred one adds interest without pulling my eye away from the main subject – a cute, fluffy, baby crane.

I never use the ring of ire in the 1D4 because it is too slow to acquire focus. The 5D3 seems a bit faster but I have not purchased a 1Dx to try for myself.

There are times when ring of fire is clearly best. I believe that they are detailed in the MIV User’s Guide. Another trick with that camera and ring of fire is to acquire focus on the edge of the array (despite what Canon advises….) artie
