    I started doing bird photography during the Covid Pandemic because i could isolate myself from other people at the beach as my hiking trails became full of people who had no idea of proper educate on hiking trails .My landscape cameras and lenses were not really adequate for bird photography my longest lens was a Tamron 75- 300 . I first upgraded to a 55- 300 PLM fast focus lens and i upgraded to a newer camera body and a 150- 450 4.5 - 5.6 lens

    Great info in this video Alan! Very informative! Also, you mentioned the long end of the 24-120 is great for photographing mammals on safari, so i have a question. I currently have a Fuji X-T4 with the Fuji 70-300 (inc. 1.4 teleconverter) and a Tamron 17-70 2.8. Both are great lenses, but I was wondering if a 135mm FF equivalent prime is something you'd recommend? The reason I'm asking is because I was thinking of having the 70-300 w/1.4 combined with the 90mm (135 equivalent) F2 on another body once i get it because of the amazing sharpness and extra light gathering at F2. I'd definitely use the Tamron for landscapes when not on safari, but I get the feeling the 90mm would be amazing for mammals that are closer to the vehicle. I'd love to know your advice. Thanks dude 👍

  • @ljordan203
    @ljordan203 4 дня назад

    I own the 500pf and I think it’s a wonderful lens. It’s a keeper however, I too am considering a longer prime for the frame magnification that only a long prime with a wide aperture can give. Good luck.

It’s a bird and wildlife enthusiast, I would really appreciate having a note on screen such as species name so we can learn new species while watching your video, exif are also nice to have for those looking for reference settings or creative ideas. Personably bird and other animal name on screen is super useful. Cheers and keep the good work coming :)

    Instead of using the 180-600 in DX mode to get to 900mm digitally, losing half your megapixels, buy the Z 1.4x teleconverter and give yourself a more croppable image with an optically enlarged 840mm lens. The sharpness of this teleconcverter is amazingly sharp (usually a lot of unsharpness in teleconverters but not in this case). If you find yourself in low light you can remove the converter and use that DX mode on. your camera.

  • @marksak455
    @marksak455 22 дня назад

    Baffles will only work if you can isolate your feeder from nearby trees, fences, posts, decks etc…. Otherwise squirrels can jump further than you realize making the baffle pointless. The feeder needs to be on its own away from most everything else. The only time I have had squirrels on my feeders are when I accidentally left something nearby they could jump off of. Also, place perches on and near your feeders and use them to take clean photos of birds!

I'm having some troubles setting it all up at the moment though....Are you setting something extra for the VR, because no matter if it's in sport or normal mode my image on the screen/viewfinder looks quite shaky all the time... And also have tried shooting in silent mode ? Because I got some really nasty image wobbling even on a static objects, gets really visible if I go through all the shots from a sequence. I really hope you can help me with these, thanks !

    Considering AF -- I think the young generation of photographers is so spoiled and pampered by computer automation and perfection -- no need to worry about that anymore with cameras like the Z9. I have to ask -- how could nature and wildlife photographers even take one usable image 50 or 40 years ago ????

  • @JayWasserman-v5e
    @JayWasserman-v5e Месяц назад

    I have and love this lens with my Z9. I bought an Arca Swiss replacement for the collar. I use it a lot with a monopod with an Arca plate. It’s rally heavy with the Z9 but manageable with the monopod. I do use the center ring for ISO since it allows me to underexpose if I am shooting a white bird or am otherwise concerned about blowing out the highlights. I enjoyed your review. You should consider investing in a microphone that you could clip on your shirt collar. I don’t think this lens is expensive, considering its capabilities. It is amazingly sharp. I would mention that the first version of this lens that I received was not sharp and the seller quickly replaced it. The second one was perfect. Thanks for posting the review.

And so far it worked perfectly for me. I have a friend who just started following my steps, and he bought a 1/23 compact camera, with 900mm (40X optical) the canon sx740, and he's enjoying his journey si far. Tha ks for the video, I'll now buy a D800 and a prime 500mm/ f/5.6 I guess. Wish me luck
