Op-Tech hood hat or Lenscoat hoodie would be two options. Neither is going to stay on quite as well as a good old lens cap though.

Awesome photos! Where specifically did you have most luck with hummers?

Thanks for the info. My plan for April was as much to do with the weather in AZ (still relatively cool) as my schedule, but I could push it into early May. In other parts of the US my luck has ...

Thanks for the tips. July is probably a no-go for me, not least because I want to avoid the searing heat!

I'm consindering a trip there in late April and am curious where people have had most success finding and photographing hummingbirds. My preference is to avoid feeders and find them feeding on ...

Resurrecting this thread (great shot BTW) to ask if you have any advice on places in Madera Canyon to find hummingbirds. Is it a case of working around feeders, or did you get this shot out in the ...

Totally agree. Ebird is a great resource for determining what's where, but my experience based on my local area is that it bears no relation to how photographable those birds potentially are. Don't ...

So the August release of LR Classic (11.5) still has no 24-70 GM II lens profile. Anyone have any clue when Adobe might bother adding one? Surely it shouldn't take this long for such a significant ...

Depends what you like shooting. I live in NYC and my street lens of choice is the 55/1.8. I rarely use my 35GM and certainly never shoot wider than 35mm (even when I have a 24-70/2.8 on the ...

Batis lens prices fluctuate wildly and are currently on the high end of their historic range. Used prices give a better idea of what people have paid on average, and a good used Batis 85 can be ...

They're lenses designed for pretty different things IMO. I'd only buy the f/2.8 zoom if you know you're going to need a faster lens for a lot of indoor shots at relatively fast shutter speeds, ...

My advice is to not buy lenses you *think* you'll need for some hypothetical scenario that might or might not come to pass, but actually take time to find out what you actually need and will ...

It's shipping but in limited numbers AFAIK. Hence the long wait times as it drip-drips out from the factory.

The A93 will probably go up to 30FPS-capable (highest speeds always have caveats), hopefully have a slight resolution bump, probably have a faster-readout sensor (>= A1's speed), and hopefully ...

Presets are fine for getting a general look and feel in a set of similar images, or for correcting specific things like WB for an entire shoot, but I've never shot a series of photos that could ...

I just found that with most smaller, fast moving birds (like warblers) in or around foliage it was easier to track the bird manually using a small spot than let the camera track it (or use expand ...

Shutter speed and AF are the only two things that really change for me between the two options (maybe also EC if shooting a bird against the sky). Shutter speed is a flick of a dial, and I have a ...

You can fret over technical info as much as you want, but speaking from experience I've not really noticed a difference. I went from shooting an A9 (24MP) to an A1 (50MP) and my settings for ...

It'll cost over 20% less than the Sony, which is not what I'd call "nearly the same". Yes, the Sony 20/1.8 is a good lens, but since when is more choice at specific focal lengths a bad thing,...

Oh good, maybe the Sony 20/1.8 will get a discount now to compete!
