Nice! I have the same setup and loving it, although I wouldn't mind an A1 just for more cropping. It's interesting to see the heron up in the trees, here in SoCal I only see them by the rivers and wetlands. Good job brother!

Thanks man! Yeah definitely having fun with this setup. Being in the Pacific Northwest makes it way more interesting. I came up here from SoCal 3 years ago

4:47 Hey dude, did you use optical zooming to focus the subject while taking the picture? or what was that?

@PacWestPhoto 28 күн бұрын

Hey, yes thats exacctly what I did. it really helps when at 600mm. have you tried it before? its easy to setup in camera

@@PacWestPhoto i was unaware of that feature until i saw your video. im new to sony camera, i just jumped from a 15yo nikon dslr. focus magnifier feature is really really good! thanks mate!

Hi, I am wondering how this compares to the Tamron 150-500mm as far as stabilization? Also, Does your body have bird eye focus setting? I have the a7siii, but I am wondering if the 17siii or a6700 (with birds eye) would be better... Any opinions, appreciate it!

@PacWestPhoto 2 ай бұрын

Hey good questions! I have used both lenses and can say that I di enjoy the internal zoom factor of the Sony - stays balanced, less moving parts and pieces and the waterproofing aspect made the purchase worth it for me.

@PacWestPhoto 2 ай бұрын

as for the body, I have the a7iv - and I have zero complaints! such a well rounded camera! bird eye tracking, animal tracking and the video af capabilities are also fantastic. being able to switch between super aps-c and full frame is fun if youre into that - the a6700 does come with focus bracketing features that are only found in the a7RV so if you might be wanting that feature you might want to have a look

@AltLiving 2 ай бұрын

Thanks soooo much. Looking for one to travel with, so maybe Tamron is a better size - maybe even the tamron 400mm. Hopefully the upcoming a7siii update comes with an update for Bird's eye autofocus. @@PacWestPhoto

I'm a fan of Tamron and have a few of their lenses - Sigma Also has the new 500mm... That's also very compact

@AltLiving 2 ай бұрын

Yes, am considering the 50-400mm and the 150-500mm Tamron. I was keen on the former, but someone reviewed saying they 150-500mm is much better with autofocus... Hard to tell without actually trying.@@PacWestPhoto

What stabilization mode were you using?

@PacWestPhoto 2 ай бұрын

Mode 1 - I'm pretty new to this lens. at 600mm requires a lot of attention, even with the tripod I've noticed

@PacWestPhoto 2 ай бұрын

correct - mode 1 with ibis - Sony A7iv

@PacWestPhoto 2 ай бұрын

overall, very happy with the setup - just need more time behind it tbh

@matthewzook625 2 ай бұрын

Ditch the tripod and get a strap. I recommend the Black Rapid Curve Breathe Classic Strap. If you do keep using tripod try turning off IBIS. When the camera is fixed and not moving the IBIS can actual cause motion blur.

Great advice! Thanks. Anything else? Like I said I’m new to this lens

@matthewzook625 2 ай бұрын

In my opinion this lens works best at any speed above 1/1250 and I like using f7.1@@PacWestPhoto

@PacWestPhoto 2 ай бұрын

I’ll try that out - I’ll also look into the strap. The tripod is a bear to lug around anyways. Good call on that
