D500+100-400 Sig

I used to have the 150-600 C and really liked it but now due to weight issues I have the 100-400C. sure, I miss those 200 mm .. sometimes but when it comes to versatility and IQ across the frame I ...

Nice shot and very colorful bird

Nice colors and shot. Don't believe I've heard of this one before!

My wife is having the same problems as noted. I have a D500 and have tried her G9+100-300 MkII and found it ok with focus release set to focus(not knowing what balance met) Focus Release AFC: G9    ...

Thanks for the clarification. I managed to get a shot with 3 of em later.

Placed 13^th in the challenge.

I was just shooting with it today, on a gray, drizzly overcast day, doing hummers, Golden finches and others.  After which i feel more hopeful doing BIF and small birds ... as long as they are ...

Well ... surely what matters is the final shot. But it was cropped in Bridge to 35% and the processed shot was downsized to 2400x1641 from 3587x2453. I see people posting pictures that haven't been ...

I have a D500 and several lenses. I've often thought that manual focus in particular situations would be good but haven't had much luck when trying it. I've tried handheld(high SS) and off of a ...

please see https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61218259 or my response to Jorginho in this thread. thanks

Yes, figuring out cams and lenses for desired purposes sometimes is a journey. I initially wasn't terribly happy with the Sig 100-400 for BIF and even tried the Tamron 100-400(no real difference ...

Thanks, Actually the G9+100-300 is for my wife. I've been trying it out and trying to get BIF(smaller stuff) working but with CDAF I don't know if it's possible. As to your choice it really depends ...

I don't follow your comment. If you looked at the pic then it's not hard to see that the 100-300 mkII is up for it. It's the G9 for small BIF that is not up to it

Thanks, yes it's cropped to 35% in Bridge. Cut out excess water to focus on the bird.

View Original for best results! This is not to say its a better kit as it's sorely lacking for BIF but just saying it's pretty darn good and a lot lighter and cheaper

Thanks, I don't really know what set it off but there are babies about and maybe it felt threatened. I lost focus and missed everything from the last shot to this one :(. Even worse was a great ...

This wasn't terribly close, so view original. It started out as a regular Osprey dive and rise from the ashes. I hadn't noticed that duck coming in when i took the shot but The duck forced it to go ...

You got some nice Yellow-shafted shots! Well done
