That he is!  Nice shot too! These guys seem to love bare trees.  Making it difficult to capture a nice background too. Thanks for sharing. Cavig https://mya6000.smugmug.com/Misc/

F5.6 to F8 is one stop. Which is correct if using a 1.4x TC on the 400 f5.6L. F6.3 is only 1/3of a stop. The 80d may only be able to use the center AF point with an F8 aperture. Good light and good ...

Either will do well. Considering the price and weight these lenses are a great value. The AF works well with both depending on the body you are using. Tracking mainly being a function of the ...

Excellent Mark! Talk about your target rich environments. The photos are very good and your narration and information presented is also spot on. For example, I liked how you deduced hat the large ...

I feel so sorry for you 😜  Not to worry, I'm pretty sure you'll knock em dead with the R3! Good light and good shooting 🙂 Cavig

I'm trying my best to like this combo (A6400 and the 100-400 and/or 200-600. The photos are great as is the tracking AF. It even works well with the 1.4xTC (both lenses).  But using a long lens ...

I saw that.  Maybe the extra $ are for the wi-fi accessory?   Amazon is showing $1079 for the camera body only. Cavig

Yep, it's under $1100usd  What a great price for a proven performer!  Since my 2 1/2 year old 7Dii has almost 350k actuations I may pick up a second body at this low price 😎 Cavil

One of the YouTube vids on this lens said it was around 300mms to the best of my recollection.  Tried this with the lens mounted on the a6400 it looks like around 320mms or so. Good light and good ...

Thanks for making me feel even worse....lol 🤣 I may not see many eagles but I try my best to make the most of those I do see 😎

I shoot this lens and other super zooms handheld. I use this to carry the lens/camera. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CFKGE0C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_G-uDDb5RG1PDT I rotate the collar 180 degrees so the ...

I agree with Morris.  The darker detail is very hard to see in most of these.  If the gear you use allows you to shoot in RAW that would be another way.  As you can brighten shadowed areas during ...

That would make a great script for Hollywood 👍 Sady this nightmare may be closer to happening than you think.  You'll never need to leave your house or have to know anything about photography in ...

You're going to love it Danny 👍 Especially being able to zoom in or out using only your pinkie while holding the camera to your face. In the dozens of videos and threads I've viewed, I've only ...

You won't regret it Ansel! I've had this lens for a few days and it is all I hoped it would be. Nicely balanced, the internal zoom is superb and the short throw from 200-600 is easy to change ...

That's exactly why they are doing it.  They are great at giving us what we don't need or want.  Takes some great ideas like this to fall from #1 to #3  Keep up the good work! Alas poor Canon!  I ...

Yep. My other gear includes a Canon 7DII and the 150-600 C The a9 with the 200-600 mounted feels darn close to the weight of the 7DII with the Sigma Cavig

Nice little bird shots Justin 👍  Looks like a tough gig, shooting birds while lounging in the pool.  Waiter another drink please.....lol I've been waiting for you to start using a kayak or a canoe ...

As you wrote "it is not a 600mm lens" If you need more reach leave your pre-order intact. I forget if the R3 allows AF @ f9? If so you can get 840 mms from the 200-600 using the 1.4x TC. This ...

I love that feature too.  Along with the world class AF. Agreed.  A few more mpxls and maybe addressing some of the A9's oddities.  Like having to use the shutter release to wake the camera.  I use ...
