islandgun Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Nice one doc, as an aside notice the camo colour of the bird, black, white and grey exactly like the sky but still trout fishermen stand in the water dressed in green, Ive been wondering for years why manufacturers dont make a grey camo for anglers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinchesterDave Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm after the tamron 150-600mm. can I presume by the term '600' you mean this or the equivalent sigma lens? they are superb pictures and really want to get into this sort of wildlife photography. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing. Hi Dave These were taken with a canon 600 mm lens and whilst the tamron lens is ok it will not give you the above quality, Google canon 600 mm lens to see the difference in price Zoom lenses give you versatility but sacrifice quality Good luck and if I can help you give me a shout Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine the difference in price will be by quite a few figures. Would it be more beneficial to buy Canons 400mm f5.6 lens because that isn't too much more than the tamron but 200mm less? Cheers doc, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docholiday Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 The 5.6 is ok I have one but its not in the same bracket as say the 300 2.8, but again its all down to price, go onto the photography web sites such as talk photography and have a look for one second hand there are lots on there, the new canon 100 to 400 II is coming out with some good results and would probably be the best buy of the non prime lenses, (make sure it is the new II version the 1 was about the same as the 400 5.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is defiantly a price thing. I'm due to be going to a photography show on Sunday so I will have a look at the lenses I'm interested in atb, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
