Hello there,

Due to a health issue I have to give up my Sony A77 kit with a G 70-300 zoom lens because of the weight issue.

I tried the Nex 7 today and really liked the feel of the camera.

I do alot of bird photography and would like advice as to which zoom lens would best suit my needs.

Thanks

Trysh

I did bookmark a thread from Justin using the 55-210 on the NEX with an added tele converter...........

That would be a good option.

Also worth looking at is m4/3, something with an EVF though Trysh. Some get good results from the Oly 75-300 or the Panasonic 100-300 on the Oly OMD EM5, Panasonic GH2 or the Panasonic G5. Its another good option in your case.

I love NEX because of the sensor size and focus peaking. My needs are different though to yours.

All the best Trysh and really hope it works out for you. I'm going on 60 and know the feeling

Danny.
