    What do you shoot warblers in the fall woods with?

    The 80-400 G not so good for this, I've got a 300 f/2.8 edif with af'ing TC, 70-300 vrg (worse than 80-400G), and 600mm f4 (kinda heavy). I'm just curious what everyone is using. I'm leaning towards a 300 f/2.8 VR which (with TCIII 1.4x and 2.0x &600 f4) would let me get rid of all my EDIF MF...

    osprey pics

    I was investigating the death of a chick at one of the nests I monitor and took these. All chicks fledged but one of the three seems to have flown into the structure under the nest. The coons worked the carcass over pretty badly so I'm not sure what they'll do with the body. This is a unique...

    Dumb Question

    I did search first and found nothing. Is there a light pollution clip in filter (inside f mount) that would work on my d500?

    TCs on a newer version 80-400mm

    I realize I'm probably better off with a heavily cropped image than a high pixel image with a tc on this lens but I am just wondering what you folks with a 80-400 (newer version) think about tcs.

    now is time to shoot Jupiter in North America

    Jupiter should be WSW about an half before sunrise. I took a couple of pics on the 10th but it is so cold I quit early. There is a ton of light pollution outside of chicago where I am from. I've heard about ExtremeExposure to the Right to deal with this but haven't tried yet. The jupiter...

    Another dumb question

    I've been playing around with various telephoto lens and have been practicing on my bird feeder. I use the live view and zoom in but my eyes just aren't good enough to focus in perfect. Should I buy reading glasses (I'm near sighted 20/400 both eyes and actually take off my glasses to fine...

    dumb question but bear with me

    I saw a youtube video where they had a dx camera, ff camera, teleconverter, and a pentax q7. Every camera used the same lens shooting the same bird sitting on a sign. Each option was cropped to fill the frame and the q7 was arguably the winner. Which bridge camera with a really high pixel...

    TC-16a autofocusing teleconverter

    I have a new toy to play with. It appears to front focus just a bit and I have not had a chance to calibrate the focus yet (the camera reads it is an auto focus lens). I shot with a 300mm f/4.5 (@f/4.5) set at infiinity with 1600 iso because it was kind of dark each evening I played with it -...

    moon shot

    This is not retouched or cropped. My lens has a stripped out threaded hole and had to rest on top of car. It was a D5200 with a 400mm f/3.5 and stacked tcs (1.4 and 2x)

    Nikon D5300 question

    I bought a special lens that is essentially a spotting scope. It is 800 to 1600mm very cheap and looks awesome thru the viewfinder (at 500 yards the flagstick on a golf green fills screen top to bottom). I use this for spotting Osprey nests for which it is very good. My issue is that the...
