Romy,
Very nice flight shots, especially given the focal length and manual focus. Also
nice Tufted Ducks. I've only seen them once, and didn't get the shots I'd have
liked to (used the 400 f5.6L, and they were too far away...).

So if you had to choose only one lens over the other which would it be. 500 f4 L or the sigmonster ? I'm thinking of buying and have almost decided on the 500 John A Thompson

Alas, on the white egret you seem to have lost practically all feather texture, too much light I suppose.  Well, pogi Romy, all the best to you too, merry Xmas, glad you are practicing your handholding unsupported by car windows and such.  Thanks, Petty.... Merry Christmas too.... wish I have an 85 1.2L as a flight lens too... Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds

Dec 26, 2006 03:06 | #27 Yes, John... go with the 500 f4. If 700 mm f/5.6 is not enough reach down the road, you can always add the Sigmonster or 600 f4....  Romy luckyart60 wrote in post #2445662 Hi Romy Thanks for your comments, looks like I have it right going for the 500 although the extra reach of the sigmoster is also tempting as I also have already the 400mmf5.6L. Its so difficult to make a choice when considering the costs of such lens. I was also considering to sell my 400 f5.6 and get a 400mmf2.8L to handle early morning light problems. I was even thinking with 1.4 or 2 extenders stacked to attempt to get the reach at the loss of two stop down. Making darn dicissions send me crazy But reviewing your captures convinces me I need the extra reach. 500 here we go I guess Romy Ocon, Philippine Wild Birds
