Trying to get tack sharp birds in action photos … D810 + Tamron 150-600mm … just won't happen … what am i doing wrong ? 9 Focus points, Continuous mode, 1.5 DX crop factor enabled, 1250+/ sec F8, ISO 640 + …….. plz help 🙁
Please help! How do I know I got the focus right? It's hard to see on the miniscreen. I might have 100 pics with the bird out of focus? To deal with this, I pause and zoom into a photo to see if I got it right but then when I look up my target is gone.
I wish I had a zoomed in rectangle in the corner of my viewport to constantly show me my focus
hi I decided to go with the canon 300mm F4 and 70-200 2.8 mark 1 lenses. I also have the normal kits lenses such as 24-105 ef 55-250 efs 18-55 efs and also have a sigma 1.4ex and canon mark 1's 1.4 and 2x extenders do you feel I need to buy the tamron 150-600mm I am using the 600d so is a 1.6 crop lens but still wondering if it is some thing I should buy or is what I have more than good enough. any opinion would be nice thanks.]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
All of my Nikkors, from 16mm fisheye to 600mm f/4 are manual focus AI/AIS and some of mine date to the mid 80's. Something to keep in mind is that you don't need all the bells and whistles and fancy AF lenses to still produce stunning wildlife photos. For people who shoot both digital and film like I do, DSLR's and AF lenses have been the best thing to happen to photography ever because now all of the pro level AI and AIS lenses are now affordable. And newer does not always mean better. The older AI/AIS lenses could be used to smash a lot of the newer lenses into small pieces without even scratching the paint. One thing that you will need to consider if using older manual focus lenses is whether or not your camera body can accept other focusing screens. Focusing screens on digital cameras are really not intended to be used with manual focus lenses. They do not discriminate well enough between in and out of focus and it has been my experience NOT to trust the "in focus" indicator in the viewfinder. When the light levels go down, which is a great time to shoot wild life, they either will not work or will be spotty, My D700 has a microprism/ground glass screen from. focusingscreencom which works superbly. Installing it took all of about 5 minutes with the instructions provided on line.
Great video, does John take out groups in Kentucky
