Gotta tell you Eric…
10D EOS, 800 maybe 1600 ISO, 120~300 f2.8 Sigma lens.
Hello! That’s a pretty sweet lens, Douglas. Thanks for bringing it to may attention.
Effective reach
= 450mm. Add 2x f5.6 extender and as quick as lightning you have effectively a 900mm lens with some awesome resolving power. Add servo focus and continuous shooting, all you need do is hold the camera steady as you track the buggers! Raw images of magnificent quality.
That little birdie on your mag isn’t anywhere near as quick as an Australian Rosella parrot. Particularly when it’s sitting still! I’ve got some close up’s of these 80 kph rockets with wings that are every bit as sharp as that pic. No slow shooter, these 10Ds. But then they aren’t digicams really.
Nope – that’s what I’m shooting with, currently. But I’m seldom more than 30 feet or so from the subject, and your advice on bringing the wide world in closer is appreciated.
I think I implied that both the 10D and the 1Ds are slow shooters – they aren’t, really, though the 1Ds is slower than the 10D. However, the 10D v. II is apparently designed for really, really (really) fast shooting, plus a raft of other improvements, such as 8.5 megapixels.
