For instance , looking at sandpipers , even fairly close ,while  I could tell that the overall profile of the wrsp was longer , I really couldn't tell if the bill had a reddish base or not or if the primaries really were longer than the tail. .. so I ended up taking a huge number of shots of what I think were almost all semipalms. Back when I was considering the 600mm I was paranoid about the focal length and weight etc but the doom and gloom about the longer lens wasnt warranted IMO. On the other hand , the canon sx 50 HS was indeed a major pain to use .</p></blockquote><p></p>
