Nikon D7500 and sigma 150-600 contemporary.

cool i just bought the sigma 150-600mm Contemp, i also bought the usb dock. I have a nikon d600. Took some nice photos of swans with mine, we do have some otters in the tweed just now, so might catch them, I am amazed at how well you can hand hold the lense at full 600mm, was thinking in getting a gimbal for my tripod either the kf or the neweer gimbal

I was resting on a fence :joy:

just checking your website, cool, where did you shoot the tigers and lions?

Cheers, its about time i got myself a new camera.
Im looking at chopping my D7500 and D3300 plus a few lenses i dont use and get a D850

The tigers and lions towards the bottom of the page are the yorkshire wildlife park, i live local. So i go every other week on my monday off work

if you ever decide, give me a shout regarding the lenses, i am looking for a wide angle, have you ever tryed astro photography, i did i made a mess of it

Season tickets used to be proper cheap, I used to take the kids a couple of times a week after school, and the night openings are brilliant
