I had the Sony 200-600mm 5.6-6.3 G Lens, but it is too big and too heavy, not easy to handle, so I sold it in 2023. In March 2024, I bought the Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens, it is so compact, so light weight and so easy handle and operate, I can hike with it for hours holding it my hands all the time. The optical image quality are excellent, I can very highly recommend the Sigma 500mm 5.6 DG DN OS Sports Lens.

2 downsides. No TC on the Sigma. That's what put me off and of course the reduction in FPS. Makes no sense.

How is he not afraid of the light?

Could I ask which lodge the video is from😊

Good stuff.

Give me a lens like that, in Brazil a lens like that costs the value of a house hahaha

nice cliks

Hi Dean, Beautiful Film And Photographs, Brilliantly Crafted. Greetings From Norfolk. Many Thanks For Sharing Your Film.

Outstanding images with some lovely editing mate. I bought the 2-600 a few year ago and sold it due to not using it as much as I should at the time. I'm going to re-buy this lens and glue a 1.4 tc & my A9 on to it. I bought an A7iv for my dog photography work and stopped using the A9 due to the fact the screen is poor for low to ground portrait orientation. I will get back into the 200-600 with A9 setup

Notice the camera movement when he touches the tripod. This will be magnified when legs are extended.

Going upin May Dean I imagine it will be tough at that time of the year.

Thanks Dean👌👌👌

Thank you so much👍

😂😂😂 why did you give her that name?

Wonderful shots. At what distance were the animals? How is the zoom? What is the max distance considering zoom and not losing quality you would recommend shooting at?

Good video, love the natural way

Excellent informative video. I agree with all of the above. It looks like we both stumbled on NISI filters after the ugly colour casts of other makes I just wish my CanonR6 mk2 subject tracking was as good as the Sony’s in Video mode Canon now has the hefty 200-800 to complement the 70-200, 100-500 Do you think you could get away with 100-500 if only shooting mammals? Keep up the fine work. Safaris are addictive but getting expensive the way I do them😊

You forgot the factor 50 sunscreen filter 😂

Great video. I love photographing pine marten and watching them at night. A little tip try cracking the egg when you put one out it makes them eat it there as they don’t want to walk away with it incase it gets on their fur .

Nice work mate!

Great shots Dean. Would love a go at the Mountain Hares. (Will need to get a larger flask though….)

Exactly the type of video i was looking for. Thanks mate!

Great shots Dean. Will defo have a crack at them next year….

👍

Keep up the good work sir. Africa’s wildlife is always be significant! 🇰🇪 🇹🇿 🇷🇼 🇨🇩 🇪🇹 💜 🦏 🐘 🦍 🦓 🐆 🦁

one question for my personal impression ... which aperture and focal length you used here... Thank you!

Hello Dean, i have the GM II 70-200mm too since November 2021 - never regret buying it. How would you compare using it with the TC2x versus the G 200-600mm? With the TC1.4 it works fatalistic - i know. I am searching for a stronger tele optics partnering my GM70200 for Africa this summer... Thanks!

Good content, thank You!

Beautiful pix. Birds are absolutely beautiful creatures. Just got the A7CR and anxious to test it out on birds pecking away on my few remaining persimmons. The abundance of tree branches makes it hard to lock on with the A7R3, hoping the new AF works better.

Really good photos 👍🏻 I use my ZVE1 only for videos 😅

You make beautiful images, but RUclips rendering in 1080p, plus their compression algorithm which destroys the quality of the images, unfortunately does not allow you to enjoy your images with satisfactory / sufficient visual quality... ;-( Regards and happy holiday season.

At least I found this video before I got too deep into photography. I can't justify spending tend of thousands of dollars for taking a picture of a duck. Thank you.

ABSOLUTELY brilliant 🎉and so jealous that I will never return to that wonderful land 😢

I imagine you must be made up on the way the ZV-E1 handled the safari challenge, I certainly would have been. The focusing seems very accurate and the colours from your listed settings looked bang on, well, to me anyway. You gave me personally a great deal of help when I switched from Panasonic to Sony, I’ll be back in touch via email if that’s ok !! This was a great upload thank you for sharing. I think anyone who thought this camera was purely a vlogging camera have been left open mouthed with amazement. If anyone could exploit and provide evidence that it is a video beast and good for wildlife enthusiasts it had to be you Dean, fantastic my friend 👌 Phil.

Thank you

I think PD is the best I've ever used 😊

Nice set of images mate!

great shots at the end.

Very useful video from someone who clearly knows what they're talking about. Thank you, sir!

I have the carbon PDT - I don't like the smallest leg extension - they are not sturdy enough for me and do flex quite a bit - great tripod for travelling and as an "in case" tripod for street photography. Not as stable at full extension.

Getting this lens now to use with my Sony a7R V and going to get the Sony a9 iii when it comes out in march to use with it also and already have the new Sony 70-200mm 2.8 ii and have the 2x converter love it with the Sony a7R V and want to get the 1.4 converter also

Spoilt by music - sounds of the bush and particularly the bee-eaters would have been so much better.

Great video, must have been a great experience to record. Warm regards Klaus from Denmark

Great. Informative

hi

Fabulous videos. Kathy

Er darf mich auch fressen ! Guten Appe...

I am speachless 😅😅😅😅😅

Eliminates the need to choose between photo and video I guess!

A very impressive piece of kit Dean.
