Try underexposing... how much will depend on bird and light intensity.

My vote is for the 400 F2.8.  Both great lenses, but F4 for low light can be limiting. or, buy both for the best of both worlds :-)

Your over by .5 which is part of the problem.   With eagles, I can get by just fine with -1/3 EV.  Shooting egrets varies  between -11/3 to -2.  As others have mentioned, focus too.

I just picked up a Fr8nger Adapter.  Works well.

I had one about 4 years ago, but sold it as it became too small for my DSLRs.  I didn’t have any small cameras at the time... but now I do. thanks for posting the sale.  I just ordered one.  Not ...

I’m still waiting. Heard the rumor about 6mos ago.

Yes. I was expecting to see most of thier lens offerings in E mount. That’s too bad. They’re probably still working on it... or at least I hope so for the A9 people.

I purchased the Fringer for stills only as I don’t shoot video... still only.  For any action shots, I’ll use my Canon gear.  The Fringer is a nice addition in the event I find it necessary to use ...

I’m glad to see there are more options for e mount now. However, I was expecting Sigma to also release the 500 F4 in e mount too. Even produce a 600 F4. That’s a bummer. Perhaps on the next go...

Well, that’s why I bought the Fuji XT20. It’s very small and Fuji primes (most) are very small too. A tiny package. Did I say small? Great for travel with nice IQ. The trade off is APSC, but...

Yeah, that lens looks huge on that body. There goes the size weight thing.

Well, it arrived about 1/2 hr ago.  Slapped it onto the Canon 70-300L and shot a stray cat that's been coming around.  I've got to say, I'm impressed.  I only shot a few, but the focus is fast and ...

I have many zooms and this creep  is not unusual... quite common.   In fact, many zooms have a lock to prevent this from occurring.   My 55-200 is the same, it creeps when pointed down.   I’m not ...

Ah, a new 5DSR :-)  ok, maybe not.  However, there is some hope.

Likewise

You can choose believe what you'd like. Many were under exposed at 400 ISO (manual), or lower, and pushed very well. Your one week trial of a 1D series and you know all about it? :-) Sure, you ...

We’re on the same page... but not always :-)

Results from others just mirrored my experience.  No mass hallucinations. Subjects... the club was formed without me long ago. No camera body is perfect for all conditions.  Therefore, the one that ...

Was that you standing nearby that day? I thought there was a stranger. Setup is between 7:30 and 8AM for that particular site due to limited light. It’s surrounded by hills and tall trees... with ...
