Dave, Are you achieving auto focus with this setup or are you manually focusing? As was written by Erkki Poyhonen, "I would be surprised that the auto-focus...
<http://www.adorama.com/SG135400DMAX.html?searchinfo=sigma%20lens%20for%20sony%20&item_no=8> Anyone have this lens? I'm looking at it, I need more zoom for my...
It's probably the best you are going to get at that price, in my experience. I personally use a Tokina AT-X 840 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 (Model I), that weighs...
Thanks Don, I can go with the Sigma 50-500 but it's impossible for me to hand hold and it's hard to get birds in flight using a tripod. I need to see how the...
I have no experience of the Sony 70-300, but have the similar Sigma lens. These are not very fas lenses and adding 1.4 extender means loosing a stop or two of...
Hallo Marianne, a lens you should really considered IMHO is the Minolta APO 100-400mm. Do you really need the 400mm on the long end? If not I today for sure ...
... Hi Marianne, Use a gumball mount on your tripod, with which you can mount your lens / camera system at either the center of gravity or center of view /...
Thanks Hans, I could get by with the Sony G 70-300 mm lens. :) I'm weighing between it and the Sony 70-200 f2.8 lens. I think you are right, either one of...
Hi Marianne, No I don't have that lens but I use a Tokina 100-300 F/4. It weighs 1 540 gram = 3.4 pound and I find it extremely difficult to handhold except in...
Don't have that one - if you do get it, or if anyone does have it, can they post photos? I'd like to see what it can do. Must be able to see pretty far...
If you were thinking about using a 1.4x T/C on a lens, you are definitely going to take a hit in focusing speed. Nominally, the addition of the T/C cuts...
Thanks Don, I'll take a look at it. Marianne If you were thinking about using a 1.4x T/C on a lens, you are definitely going to take a hit in focusing speed....
I found it on B&H, it is a bit less expensive than the Sigma 50-500, I'm not sure I can hand hold a lens that heavy. It looks good, I have a lot of thinking to...
If you can afford this lens, Marianne - I'd go with it. Looks like a nice lens and I bet you could see almost forever with it. :) ... KopyKat * AKA * Kathy...
I agree Kathy, it does sound good and the image was sharp. Best Wishes, Marianne Venegoni http://www.pbase.com/bowlingranny http://digieyes.smugmug.com/ ... ...
One of the things I did before I sold all my Canon equipment, last September, was to shoot similar shots with both the prize-winning Canon EF 70-200mm...
Hey Don - that was a great shot of the F22... my sons are going to love it and I hope you do not mind that I share it with them. Nice job!! ... KopyKat * AKA *...
LOL, I searched for both. :) Now that's one lens I wouldn't even try for. Marianne ... gImball ... not gUmball - DOH! Spill Chezk stoal mie brane! How about...
You only lose 1 stop with a 1.4 tc. So at the 300mm end you would start at F/8. But of course you'll get much faster AF if you start out with a larger...
I would rather have a 100 to 400 or 100 to 300 lens with a larger aperture or a constant range aperture and use a tc than have a 50 to 500 with 4.5/5.6. To me...
I have some beautiful shots with my 50-500 but you are right, I can't hand hold it, my Bigma is a monster.:) Marianne I would rather have a 100 to 400 or 100...
A lot of people struggle with the idea of using a T/C ... and while they can be a convenient bandaid ... the use of a "real" zoom designed for that range...
I think I'm going with the 200-500 lens. Maybe later I'll get the 70-200 f2.8. I have the 70-210 beercan lens but I've never tried shooting it inside, anyone...
