I have very little I can say in criticism of the 55-250mm. If you go from it to an L series lens, you'll realize how soft the 55-250 is, but you need that side by side comparison to know. You'd never have an issue if you weren't comparing them. It offers a great focal range at an incredible price, it's lightweight, it's just a good lens. It did a lot of good work for me before I was able to upgrade.

So glad you’re back! Hope all is well. Please keep making photography videos.

Glad to hear you climbed back into the sandbox my friend. Those were some fantastic photos, you are talented at what you do. Cheers

Thank you so much. Yes you're right about the weight - I have a M43 camera I use for video, much easier to carry around.

Excellent photographs! Just goes to show that when you know what you're doing with a camera and lens combo you don't need the latest and greatest. Keep doing what you do.

Great to have you back! I just sold my second 7D and 55-250mm a few weeks ago. Fantastic optical view finder on the 7D. It makes most other OVF's and EVF's look stunted and inferior. The 7D also has professional controls and is built like a tank. Why did I sell? Because I don't shoot horses or many other moving things and having three systems (RP full frame and Lumix M4/3 was too much to keep with). If I ever get chance to shoot horses, I will be thinking about all the lessons learned on this channel.

Thank you! Yeah the 7D is a rugged old brick - I'll always keep it, even as a back up when I get something else. Thanks brother. Drew

Haven't touched a camera in years. Found this channel yesterday and by last night I'd dug out my old OM2 and ordered 2 rolls of film (when did 35mm get so expensive!). Such a genuine character and no BS, so refreshing in 2023. Keep up the good work mate!

Thank you kindly my friend. Yes the old 7D gets the job done - and it'll always be my backup regardless of what else I use.

Great video! In the 25 years since I started photography, I've only bought 1 new camera, and that's because I could finally afford to do so. Everything else came from ebay. I still have my 10D from my early years, and I take it out for a spin once in a while. I feel I could still use it professionally.....some of my most favorite pictures came from that camera. Thanks for posting!

Old man that's so fking cool to hear. 55-250 is stm good piece of glass. If someone wants cheap efs telephoto zoom you should definitely check it out. But onlt stm version, I and II ver using cheap engine which makes it hunting as sl*** even on stills PS as i can see you improving video skills a lot)

Beautiful photography. Glad to see things are going strong. As always to the point and informative.

He's back in the saddle 👍 I would love a go at equine photography. I have recently changed to micro four thirds system though. A Lumix g9 and various lenses. Do you think m43 is a suitable system for equine? I have been mainly shooting landscape and nature whilst getting accustomed to the new set up.

@loneshootr

Жыл бұрын

Good question. I have a Panasonic G80/85 I use for video but I never shot stills with it yet. I do know the G9 is an excellent camera though. I guess there's only one way to find out... Next time I'm back on the ranch I'll give the m43 a go.

I have ended up with a 6D and a 7D after all these years of buying stuff I will never use. 70-200 F4L USM and 50mm F1.8. Don`t need anything else.

Absolutely right. I may yet go for the f/4 instead of the f/2.8 - it all depends what comes up at the right time. The f/4 is a good bit lighter and noticeably sharper in my experience of the series 1 models.
