Beautiful shots! My fav here is the second to last. Seems very early in the year. They may have taken their chance utilising the current Sahara winds? I'll have to check on some nests in my area. T ...

You'll be fine, one way ore the other. I wish you good luck! :-) And report back how you like it!

Congrats on your pics and your lenses, doing extremely well! I had only one niggle about your post which was calling the 300/4 a budget lens. -But then I checked your profile and saw where you come ...

Inflated self esteem seems to go well with BBuilders in general...

You're right. It's only that the OP asked for 600mm. And with 588mm one could say 12mm isn't a hill of beans. But the difference between 560 and 600 is at least a little heap of peas. ;-) Not ...

Given how few full resolution pics from that lens have shown up here yet ... I'd guess it's a bit early to expect someone having done thorough and valid comparison tests.

400 x 1.4 = 588mm???

Tip: Pressing and holding down any fn-button brings you directly to the available settings. Thats page14/14 of the menu for the fn-button behind the shutter: And this (AF Mode/MF) is for bringing ...

Congrats on your purchase. Very nice lens that one! If you feel you need more FL you could add the Olympus 1.4xTC ore even the 2xTC. (420mm f4 ore 600mm f5.6 is fine!) Your lens is supposed to be ...

Hi Max! My personal conclusion was to buy the Canon fd500/4.5L in October 2019 and I have since used it exclusively for birding first on a Panasonic G80 and later on on Panasonic G9. Nowadays I ...

The easyest way would be to simply convert your raw files to jpeg (without any changes/rendering other than conversion!) and then post the jpegs here. If you want to make the raws available you ...

Since you wrote you had a quick look at a comparison ... why not post it (the shots) here?

Interesting birds and excellent captures! Second pic suggests their strong beaks are accompnied by a strong and fleshy tongue? Well done, thanks for showing!

You can set a minimum shutter speed too. Very useful! And if you choose auto iso you can set a max iso. In fading light the cam will rise iso to keep the min ss until the set max iso is reached. ...

A perfect explanation of DenoiseAi's weird behaviour! I'll only add that when setting NR to zero in low light mode one will get a similar behaviour as you explained for SH at zero. And that's what ...

Agreed. I've had no influence here on the sh prior to DenAi. And my usual starting point is quite a bit softer images. Thanks for the feedback!

The pre-processed file is fine for me because I do apply DenAi exclusively on jpeg anyway. So FWIW here's the pic after my weird settings applied: It may be a tad oversharpened but that depends on ...

I'm currently on v2.2.2 and I could upgrade freely to v2.3.6 but just realised the latest version (which I assume you're talking about) is v2.4.1 Anyway I'm reluctant to do even the free upgrade ...

I've no idea as I'm not owning any of those products ... but I've seen that very question beeing asked and answered many times over at the m4/3 forum . So you might get more and faster response ...

Perhaps you should look again because in both comparisons the 150/2 was shot at f2.8 as was the 40-150.
