Blind Bill

So I ordered a lightly-used Canon 400 with a 1.4x iii teleconverter from B&H. Pretty much for the same cost as the Tamron 150-600.   What tipped me this way is the IQ of the ‘L’ prime plus the ...

While we’re talking about Arches (and surroundings) I have to throw Dead Horse Point State Park in the mix.  IMO, one of the most inspiring viewpoints in the Western U. S.  Google it.

Beautiful!  Thanks for sharing those with us.  Up until a couple weeks ago I had the same Tamron lens (gave it with my T1i to my kid).  Always thought it is an unappreciated and underrated lens.  ...

My wife had a twisted ankle so as she sat in the car as I took the hike to the alternate side. As I recall, from the view point you'll be looking at Delicate across a canyon and at a distance of a ...

Sweet!! Incredibly rich colors!

Thank you, brother!! I've read as many of the 150-600 posts as I can find, and I appreciate another one, regardless of its perceived redundancy. To the OP...thanks for asking. BTW, these threads ...

I've never been overseas before so I'm taking everything with me to Ireland in June. :)  Just kidding....but I am taking my 16-35 f/4L, 70-300L and Tami SP45.

My wife and I traveled southern Utah during October in 2014.  Crowds were very sparse, parking lots were 1/2 empty, temps had moderated to 70's-80's by then and we had a blast. Hotels were cheaper ...

5D Mk3.   This evening, after reading more and more reviews, I'm leaning towards the Sigma 150-600 Contemporary, and tomorrow I'm sure it'll be the Sport.  :(    I wish Canon would build a 150-600 ...

Thank you for sharing those.  Very beautiful!

Those are superb!!  Seeing images such as these makes it easier to go along with my decision.  Thanks for sharing!

I own the Canon 70-300L and am looking to buy something with a bit more reach (and don't want to sell this lens). The quality of the 'old' 400 f/5.6 speaks for itself but the range of the ...

Colorado. Crazy, huh?!!

I own and use a Tamron 10-24 on my T1i and really do like this lens.  It’s served me well for several years.

All are beautiful shots.  The viper....wow!! I'd love to know what type of flash (on/off camera) you use.

Not sure what it came from but I found it on a walk this morning and thought it would make an interesting subject.  I recently bought a Westcott Sunlite Reflector and this is my first attempt with ...

A big thanks to everyone who has posted.  I'm mapping all suggestions and so far I've got a lot of places to visit.  Keep them coming....its going to be a fun day in Dublin!

Last comment: It may 'only' be 12 miles, but in the Rockies, with elevation, rapidly changing weather I would suggest you think about a quality hiking/camping backpack rather than a day pack built ...

OP:  I didn't read all the posts on this thread so I'm jumping in here with this gentlemen's' comments - and he's made some excellent points.  So I've been in that country you'll be hiking in - ...

Thank you, I appreciate your comments. We'll be on tour for 11 days and I'm sure that somewhere along the way I'll tip a Guinness (though I much prefer Irish whisky's) so the brewery isn't really ...
