This was my first shot with this lens

I'm off on Safari next month and after reading several reviews and discussion like this I purchased the Sigma 150-600c last month. I have tried it on in our wild life parks and got some good quality pic.

Thanks guys. Timer on order

Hi Is there anyway to extend the self timer on my camera. I have a canon 7d mkii, which has a 2 & 10 sec option as standard. It would be great to have a few more seconds, to allow better scenic background. thanks

Thank you

Does anyone have any good recommendations for private tutors / photo teachers based in the midlands Or equally know of which institutions run good courses? I'm going on safari later in the year and I want to improve my odds of getting the best from my new camera and lens. Thanks

I have a Redged 522k, which is light, compact and sturdy enough to hold my 7d mk2, with a 70-200

Has anyone had any dealings with SLR hut. I've only just found them and they appear to be a lot cheaper than even Digitalrev.

Matbin I will probably take the camera and lens as carryon luggage.

All Looks like a resounding vote for Sigma or Tamron 150-600. I don't go till Sept, so have time to get a good used version. I'll also look to take Condyk advise and see if I can pick up another camera. Maybe upgrade mine to the 6d and sell the 60d thanks for all you advice

Hi I have a 60d with 24-105 and 70-300 lens. Later this year I will be going to Africa and will doing a Safari. I was looking to hire something, but for the price I'm seeing, I may be better off buying and then sell again when I return. Bearing this in mind,this is a single trip lens, I don't...
