Re: First attempt at photographing birds with R, and a question about lenses

I'm not in to this kind of stuff, but maybe you could use extender + 70-200mm on your M6mkII?   That's a very affordable way to increase the pixels per bird!

Maybe it's a better idea not to buy anything, and save those 800 bucks for other and more important purposes in post-Covid times.  In all fairness, the pictures you just showed here are looking really good without enlarging things. If you want better, the fun starts where the weight becomes too much and the price becomes too high.

If you can't stand the temptation, I would get a Sigma rather than a Tamron, as in general Sigma has better compatibility with Canon.  Make sure if you need the Sigma dock, or try to get the updates from the store you're buying the lens.

I love 50mm (equivalence)
