Hi to all, I have found this interesting, there is an advertising on DPReview for Photo Studio Ultimate 2019 saying that they are the world's "only all-in one digital asset manager & RAW photo ...

Well, it is a catch 22 to answer the 500mm vs 600mm question. The extra 100mm is important in my case since I often photograph small songbirds in the wild and they do not like close companion. ...

Hi, I have had plenty of experience with the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 and have been using the Tamron 150-600mm G2 since it has been on the market. The short version is that the Nikon is optically ...

Thanks, that puts things into clear perspective. Sigh............. :-(   I just need to stay with the Tamron G2 and forget about my wish, seems like it is not feasible. I sold my Nikkor 500mm f4E ...

I am afraid of that you are right, still, dreaming is good to the soul.......... :-)  Then, there is the good old Nikkor 200-400mm f4 just a hair under $7,000.00. It might not be a huge stretch ...

Yes, I had the Nikkor 200-500 f5.6 before the Tamron G2. I liked its image quality, its constant aperture and VC. I was not happy with its AF speed and needed the extra 100mm too for tiny birds. ...

Thanks for the link. Off topic but I share my 3rd party long zoom wish. I often wish if instead of increasing zoom ratio someone would come out with one that decreases it but in exchange of the ...

Bill, that can be a reasonable explanation. After reading her bio I saw that she had done work in ornithology and had connections in the birding/nature world. Put good work and good connections ...

Janet, hi again, I followed up on your advice and have read her biography. Impressive I must say. That experience with Cornell Lab of Ornithology must have helped her a lot. Now I see where she ...

Hi Janet, I am simply curious how she achieved what she did in so short time. She is in the field for ten years. The first two definitely had to be learning the basics. So in eight years she made ...

Hi Bill, I followed up on the link you posted, thank you. Well, this Melissa Groo has shown a good collection of nice images. The only distracting elements in her presentation were her playing a ...

Interesting what you say. Anyhow, I did not think that the TAP-In was overly pricey but that is relative and personal I suppose. I like the convenience of seeing the settings in metres/feet in the ...

Thanks for the info. I happen to use VC3 exclusively as you do. The only thing I keep changing is the distance limiter switch. I use the lens mostly for my small songbird images in densely ...

Hi, The emphasis is on "unjustly". From a gentleman's point of view the fellow should be treated well not being told off. It easily can happen that he was put down by another person for ego ...

I used wounded as a word to put emphasis on crowd mentality. I understand your position and I can identify with it. The use of word is not to imply emotional discomfort but to highlight the ...

Totally understand what you say. Yes, it is unfortunately the internet and indeed egos get hurt easily, rigtfully or not. Aside that it is not only egos that get hurt but folks with the capability ...

I suppose if someone feels being hurt unjustly then it is very hard to resist finding some justice. However, it is the nature of the "crowd" that they do not necessarily express kindness towards ...

Thanks for the info, interesting bit. I'll try to read up on it. My wife and I spent a few days in Jackson Hole about eight years ago. Stayed in a lodge and done day trips around, got some ...

Man, this is funny.......... :-) Mike Jackson straight from Jackson Hole. Good that the place is not called Jackson's Hole................. ;-) Best, AIK :-)

I suppose they could exchange the F mount for a Z mount, but why? The Z mount would have to be in the same physical location as the F mount. Therefore, the only result would be a larger diameter ...
