Aston Senna

I tried VR1. From what I gathered, the optics should be unchanged. VR wasn't an issue as I tried it on a gimbal head on a pro quality tripod the owner brought.

I have read this, too. the one i tried, i shot it at 400 f4 of a car in a parking lot. Filled the frame of a rear of a smaller truck. But can't think i was more than 150 feet away. Either way, ...

funny you mention that, because that's exactly what I did on saturday haha. It's buried in a couple posts above but I wrote: "I actually tried a 200-400 yesterday that was listed locally. met the ...

the atmosphere conditions there were about 430pm with a setting sun at my 2 oclock, so pretty backlit, which I'm sure doesn't help. sunset that day was at about 530-540 (first day of clocks going ...

Thanks for all the discussion! I actually tried a 200-400 yesterday that was listed locally. met the guy, super nice, was cool with me taking a few shots with it for comparison later to make sure ...

I actually have that lens, the DX version . Love it. I've used it for wider pan shots a lot arond 100mm and have taken many other great shots with it. Definitely will always keep it out of ...

appreciate the tips! Maybe handholding too didn't help either. Most of shots that were like not quite there, but almost, lots were at 1/500 or 1/640. It's your impression that the shots shown that ...

i appreciate the tips ! Will definitely keep that in mind . I have so many pictures to look through, I'll try and find more comparable examples from same spot and different lengths and same subject ...

so how would you compare then your images out of your old sigma and its replacement to the Sigma photos I provided above at those focal lengths? Are they what you'd call acceptably sharp or about ...

the thought of that has crossed my mind too, as something to own at some point. I went to your website, btw, and what wonderful photos. Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Amazing colors and vividness, ...

can i ask why you think the nikon much better? Did you calibrate the sigma with the dock?

I know the sigma sport is heavy, but I have a monopod now. I handheld that contemporary 150-600 for 7,000 pictures over two days and holy crap were my arms weak by the end. I found a railing to ...

maybe I'm just crazy. but here are some full size examples of some of the sharpest shots I had. None of these have really been edited at all or sharpening. JPEG right out of camera. Showing ...

Hey guys, I'm getting into shooting racing. I shot my first race last fall and used my D7500 with a newly acquired Sigma 150-600 C. Got lots and lots of great shots with this combo. Trouble is, ...

interesting. my d7500 has been fine in the nearly 30,000 clicks in the 7 months I've owned it. My old D3200, the adjusting wheel had an issue, like it just broke, so nothing could adjust, it would ...

No thoughts or experiences to share with the DC lenses on newer DX bodies?

thought it'd be worth it to add a pair of recent 85 1.8G photos for reference , albeit not full size (3000x2000) and this one, also not full-res, the medium size on the in-camera settings still a ...

Hey guys, so I found a 105 DC lens for sale and I've always been intrigued by it. I have a 85 1.8G now for use on my D7500 and it's my first longer prime and I do like it. There's a few things I ...

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pho/d/san-francisco-fs-nikon-85mm-f14-af-lens/7251411709.html I'm not selling this lens and have no affiliation. I was casually browsing nikon gear and saw this. I ...

Hey thanks for those comparison pics! I got to say, the AF-P definitely looks better to me. Let me upload a few of my pics with the 12-24 to see what ya'll think of it. I think probably the biggest ...
