Although I have a decent CF tripod and a good jobu gimbal I tend to only use it while waiting for the birds to appear ,once they start flying I estimate that 95% of my shots are handheld . The sigma lens is medium weight so that helps but I'm also wobbling around getting another 300mm f4 once funds allow as they work well with most t.c,s and you don't have to take focus breathing into account as you do with zooms I.e a 300 and 1.7 come in at just over 500mm and although the sigma is supposedly 600mm focus breathing brings that down to around 550 mm so not a lot of difference . Having used that combo before I know that it's pin sharp even without I.s if funds allow the PF might even be on the cards . PS as rob will tell you I'm not exactly a small guy either so hand holding is not a problem 6'1†and brick outhouse is the term I think Last edited on Sun Jul 14th, 2019 08:35 by blackfox |
