you hate birds, i hate birders. perfect.

Hey !

OM is micro 4/3rds so you actually got a 200-800!!!! Show those pricks whos boss!

Im gonna show up to one of these birder meats with my bright blue corolla, blast some eurodance music and shoot from inside my car.

Ill get sooooo many dirty looks. It’ll be great

People use M43 here? :seriously:

^I somehow went from FF -> APSC -> M43 :lol

I'm still unsure what I'm trying to achieve with this setup, but I can add a 1.4x teleconverter on top which will get me 1120mm FF reach in a relatively portable setup.

It actually makes a lot of sense. The older we get, the more important weight and portability is when you go on these “photo walks”

Lugging around a full frame body + a 600mm f4 prime and tripod while you “hike” is insane.

Thats why im keeping my 100-400, its so light and portable. When i go actual hiking, ill just bring that and my 10-18 sigma and i got everything covered. Leaving this bazooka tube at home.

Becareful with those teleconverters though, it’ll take away 1 stop of light while 2x teleconverters take 2 stops of light.

So that guy with the 600mm prime f4 goes from f4 to f8 at 1200mm which is basically the same as my 1280mm at f9 (only a tiny bit brighter)

How did this happen? :concentrate:

FF for life~! :fuckyea:

true, full frame is good for dynamic range and low light, but when it comes to REACH. m43 and apsc has you guys beat hands down.

i can shoot cyprus (i think) from richmond dyke and see the chair lift man. THE CHAIR LIFT!

Anyone else thinks this Nikon p1100 is kinda cool ? 1500 bucks for 28-3000mm super zoooooom !!!!!
Yeah image quality ain’t that great or sharp but for your average schmoe this is a fun little camera

All of you disappoint me sometimes

the previous model is the OG . tons of wildlife vloggers use the P1000.

you ever try it? is it any good or are the images basically useless at 3000mm?

that ultra tiny sensor (apparently smaller than an iphone sensor) cant have very good dynamic range or clarity. and its only 16megapixel right?

Seems like a fun little thing to bring hiking though, no need for any huge lens/camera combo, lighter than even my r7+100-400mm combo.

Do any of you guys use manual-focus lenses? (I'm suspecting radeonboy does) :D

Long story short, I rescued a new old-stock Olympus lens in Walmart's clearance section and bought a cheap body to try out the platform. The lens was supposed to be a quick flip but now I'm more than a few lenses deep:lol

Nah I'm not that hardcore, and I'm pretty sure the manual focus clutch on the Oly lenses don't count :badpokerface:

wildlife photographers don’t have time to manually focus.

I plan to take photos of wildlife photographers.

My god the shots i got today are utterly insane. Scroll all the way down and you’ll see this heron landing, the damn thing looks so alien especially in the fog this afternoon.

I do exclusively, but thats cause my shits old.

This is once again relevant lol
