Very impresive Jeff to get the waxwing in focus through all those branches, I think its helped me decide to go for the OM-1 Mk1, its just confusing with people saying the AF isnt what its cracked up to be, but you nail it with your images on here. and Im aware they will be from a burst but even...

Stunning image Jeff and you have certainly managed to squeeze the most out of the Oly and Panasonic lens in not ideal light....well done mate

Hi Jeff the lens is very similar to my 150- 600 Sigma when I say it judders I mean I can hear the focussing mechanism but only when im looking through the viewfinder in subdued room light and its struggling to focus Is there a setting that shows the screen and viewfinder differently to what an...

This gives you more if an idea compared to their website...

Ive been visiting Central Florida every year since the mud 90's and in those days there were a few decent "real" camera such as Wolf cameras but sadly all folded leaving the low end tourist type stores selling over priced old stock, a few years ago I discovered "Colonial Photo and Hobby" who...

Did you notice this problem straight away when you got the 6D or has it developed over time?, the reason I ask is if its the latter than I would suspect its lubricant from the shutter in which case I would be pushing for replacement as having a new sensor fitted is not going to cure the problem...

I take your point about the 2 card slot though it never bothered me but for a pro I can see the downside, the choices in af is a bit of a let down but I usually stick to centre point and it does OK, I also have a 1D3 so can obviously see the difference in speed and af points but that being said...

Phil when you say "reap greater rewards" in what way? the 6D can work in very low light and as far as I remember slightly better than the 5D3, the iso is as good as the 5D3, its lighter as well, the only down side is the fps and lack of focus points compared to the 5D3, as a wedding, portrait or...

I have the 6D and its far better on the iso front than the 5D2 after using my brothers, and as far as low light goes it will focus in my front room with only one candle as the light source, its said to have its limitations mostly in the lack of af points but as I only use the more sensitive...

Mine took a couple of days for the confirmation email to arrive also, I'd just use it in the meantime. Amazon are pretty good and any problems will usually be sorted out but to be honest I wouldnt think that you;ll have any and that this is a legitimate sourced lens

A lot of it is about field craft and knowing your subject start with your garden birds as advised then you'll understand they arent that elusive as when flying about in the sky, they need to feed so tempting them with regular food will draw them to you instead of trying to chase them at long...

I didn't know that! need to get on friendly terms with a student ;)

Why? do 50 year old students get a discounts :confused:

Theres nothing wrong with your camera or lens as Jeff states you are way too far away and even an 800mm lens wouldnt help you,when you look a some of the shots what percentage of the sensor actually has the bird on it my guess is around 5% or there abouts so 95% is being wasted, Jeff is an...
