    Yes, in some situations better equipment can affect the quality, but only in some moments it's true, but what is the difference between a good lens and an even better one and that's it or that's all, but everything else depends on who uses that equipment and how creative he is. Some geniuses in the past did not mind creating masterpieces when this equipment was not available. So what? Thank you very much for your honesty.

    @@princip6656 Well I always told to my students in late 90s, when pro equipment was very expensive and not available for all, that the Equipment doesn´t made the photographer. Today, when social media made a terrible pressure to show the best of the best, it can be a little frustrating, so maybe a good lens can help. but always you have to think, how would be my Photographs if no one would see them? Vivian Maier, an awesome Photographer from the 50, 60s, she never showed his photos to anyone and once her Photos was published the photos were incredible. Have a nice week and keep safe.

Adam, yes, I turn the OS off when I follow the bird, it has happens that the image gets motion blur, and the image freezes in the lens and stops to follow during the pan of the camera. Also because i use a high shutter speed the os dont plays a mayor role. The 60-600 is an better lens of course. Adam have a nice weekend !!

    Muito obrigado Luiz, tenho ótimas lembranças do Brasil, lindo país e povo. Luiz, na verdade você pode limitar a distância de foco de duas maneiras: 1-com o botão na lateral e seus dois modos predefinidos, 2-com o acessório sigma para programar a lente. Com o acessório Sigma é mais preciso, pois você pode escolher a faixa em que deseja que o foco funcione. No meu caso, em 90% dos casos tenho uma faixa de foco de 10 metros a 50 metros, sei que qualquer pássaro a mais de 50 metros de distância ficará muito pequeno no enquadramento. Um abraço e uma ótima semana.🤗

    Olá RM, fico feliz em receber outro comentário seu. RM, na verdade não uso nenhum tipo de filtro na lente, principalmente por questão de nitidez. A lente foi projetada para obter a melhor imagem em sua forma original. Incluir uma lente de 40 ou 50 dólares significa que a qualidade da foto será como a do último vidro da lente. Principalmente ao fotografar pássaros ou animais. Agora, se por algum motivo eu tiver que tirar uma foto de paisagem, onde a luz do sol cria dificuldades, tenho usado um filtro CPL, mas em pouquíssimas ocasiões e apenas em fotos de paisagem. Você pode assistir a este outro vídeo onde detalho alguns outros pontos para conseguir imagens nítidas: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o62g0tGMisnIdc4.html Um abraço e se tiver mais alguma dúvida estou à sua disposição.

    Hi Mario, love your vids. I have the canon r7, and pair it with the sigma 150-600mm lens. What are your thought on integrating a 1.4x converter with this?

  • @MarioKilianPhotography

    @MarioKilianPhotography

    11 ай бұрын

    Hi James !! At first thanks you for you comment !! James, the answer to you question will not be short, but i´ll try. The r7 (camera that i love, but dont own) is a croped sensor, so when you use the sigma at 600mm it is like you are using almost 900mm versus using any full frame camera, so why would you need more focal lenght? astrophotography or some constellations? the environment in where you live forces you to take photos to far away from birds? well, that could be. The converter 1.4x will made you loose 1 stop of light, also double you iso, it make works slower the AF and you have to pay a price in sharpness. Of course, if you have a sharp master primer lens, like 400 or 600 f4, you can squeeze the perfect sharpnes of this lens and use a converter, but the sigma is not a sharpnes monster, so you will notice the loos of sharpness, if you like photos of birds in flight you will also notice that the AF will be slower. Of course, if you shooting mainly static birds, the moon, stars, landscape (I love to do this wit the sigma), you can use the TC and be happy. Now, if I would own the r7 and the sigma, i would not buy the TC, with more than 30 MP image i really preffer to crop slightly the final image. And to end, once you have the TC in sight, almost no one can convince you to not buying it, and maybe you always will be anxious to buy it 😁, so if budget is not a issue go for it and discover the pros and cons for you self, if budget is somewhat an issue buy a used one, otherway dont buy one. Maybe if you had a lower pixel camera, or if you had a fast 400mm lens I woul stronger recommend you to buy one. james I hope the answer will help you. Big hugh, Mario

  • @MarioKilianPhotography

    @MarioKilianPhotography

    Жыл бұрын

    Hi nice to read you !! The sharpnes is most driven by the crop you have to do, if you shot a little bird like a Wren or Blue Tit and it is for example at 50 mts, you have to crop to much to have a nice size in the frame, and that kills sharpnes. The lens has a good sharpnes no matter the distance, the landscape image are a good example. So you should consider for Birds their size, i use to take the picture so that I dont need to crop more than a 50%. For little birds in my experience i preffer not to shot if it is more than 15 mts away, and in big birds 70 mts is my limit. That of course in a full frame camera, in croped sensor 24 and 110 meters respectively. I hope it helps you, have a nice Weekend.

    Do you ever have auto focusing issues at 600mm? Usually it focuses fine for me around 500mm and less but when I zoom to 600mm it constantly searches and fails to focus on anything, not sure if it's because I need to change the settings on the lens when shooting something far away or if I need to try the dock to fix it

  • @MarioKilianPhotography

    @MarioKilianPhotography

    9 ай бұрын

    Hi Choppy, First, I don´t think you can solve the problem with the dock, the dock is to programm the two custom modes, and to calibrate the focus point of the dslr. If you Sigma pumps it can be for many reasons; weak contrast of the subject, to wide focus area, any eye detection activated, animal detection, to fast auto focus speed, pin AF mode for objecs to far away, 0 to infinite AF for objects to far away, you shooting with to close aperture, etc. You need to made a check list and go out and photograph with all this settings changed. In my Sigma I dont have AF searching issues, except for the normal on the lens, but at 600mm I have a lack of sharpness, so I shoot at 600 minus just a bit, 580mm 550mm.

    Hi, YES and NO !! 😁 If you thinking to take a nice Photo of the Milky way rising over the horizon and with a nice foreground, than NO, for this photos you need a 20mm to 50mm fast lens (f1.4 to f2-0). but if you thinking to take a photo of the moon, saturn, jupiter, any nebula, or the Green Comet last February, than YES you can use the Sigma and it works good, just keep in mind for dark objects to not use a too long exposure time, and if you have to it is better that you use a Sky Guider. If you use an Crop sensor camera and any extender (1,4x or 2.0x) much better. Thank you for you comment.

    When you take video do you use 1000 ahutter or you default to 180 degree shutter example 30 fps I would use 60 shutter. When filming birds is this proper? I just bought this lens and will pair it with canon c100 mkii to do nature videos.

    Hi Gereral. Gereral, I have recorded with my old Nikon D5600 and a Nikon Z7, with both cameras I use always a shutter speed that doubles the FPS. For example, for not fast moving birds y film in 30FPS with Shutter 60, if birds are mooving an I want a more fluid video I use 60FPS with a shutter of 100 to 120. in both cases the aperture I use is 6.3, the widest the lens can at 600mm, and always with auto ISO and the OS of the lens in off. I hope this helps you. Greetings from Germany.

    Muito bom dia RM, na verdade cada tripé vem com uma placa de fixação, que provavelmente é uma "Arca-Swiss" no tripé KyF; você deve parafusá-la na base ou no cabo da Lente Sigma. Desta forma você pode montá-lo sem problemas. Essa placa “Arca-Swiss” vem com o Tripé, tanto no KyF quanto no Manfrotto. Um abraço.

    5 ай бұрын

    Hello Tibru, thank you for your comment. Tibru, the 25 or more photos (sometimes 10 is enough) do not necessarily have to be aligned, the important thing is that the 25 photos are as sharp as possible, it does not matter if they are in the same area of the image. The photos are taken automatically by the camera itself, or otherwise, you press the shutter 25 times in a row, or you use the burst mode. Then, those photos are processed by Registax, which recognizes the moon and automatically aligns each photo, it's wonderful. A hug.

    Hi Chungus, 500 usd is definitely a good deal. Here in Germany the used ones are from 650 to 800. Check very carefully that there is no dust inside, that there is no fungus on the optics and that of course there are no scratches on the optics, that the focus and zoom ring moves smoothly and that the contacts with the camera are in good condition. Make sure there is nothing loose inside and all the screws are in order. Good luck !!!

    @@dr.chungusphd108 Hi Chungus, sorry for the delay in my response. To your question, I have never had a Tamron lens, therefore I could not give an objective opinion on the matter. I think the best thing is to search on KZread or Google for someone who has directly compared both lenses. What I can tell you is that the quality of Sigma is that I have used their lenses for more than 15 years as a secondary lens and I have never had any problems. On the other hand, when I have asked for a Firmware update, Sigma's response has been exceptional. . A hug.

    Hi Paul, I have never test the R6 Mark 2 with the Sigma. With the R6M2 the focal lenght will be effective 150 to 600mm, like with my Nikon z7, and all the bennefits of the full frame sensor.....but.... The only thing is that Canon´s R5 and R6 have an focus issue called Pulsing, and the R6M2 may have it to. Duade Paton, a great Photographer, solved or at least reduced this problem a year ago changing some settings. I would recommend Googling specifically for this camera with this lens on youtube, you will surely find an appropriate answer. Big Hug.

    Olá Rui, ambas as câmeras possuem um sensor aps-c, o que significa que a lente de 600 mm tem, na verdade, aproximadamente 900 mm. O que você deve considerar é que o R7 é Mirrorless, portanto tem melhor foco automático do que o D90. Em geral, a R7 é uma câmera melhor que a D90, então você conseguirá fotos melhores com a R7 só porque é uma câmera melhor. Um abraço e saudações.
