Just tested last Saturday with this 600 f/4: a eurasian collared dove way down south of calgary (an hour drive) 30D+600mm @ f4, 1/3200 AV on monopod:  @ f5 same set-up (won't fit on the frame, should have recompose, blunder!)  thanks for viewing. |

Thanks, guys.... Romy, the 800 can be pre-ordered for 12K $ (think it will be out May20 and it's lighter than the 600, should have wait that one) How about you?.....ow, you already have that Sigmonster.

Hi Ed, I think I'm already fine with my current gear. What I need is a new body (no, a real body, not a new dslr) so I can bird at two places at the same time. ;D |
