I just purchased this lens. So far, I find it takes amazing photos! You show some beautiful shots in your examples. I aim to get that good!!!

give me your facebook link, i will join with you

Is there and case for this Lense for travel

Hi Don ! I am confused between the a6600 and the a6700... I don't want to spend an extra 60,000 Rs for AI driven a6700. Will a6600 fulfill my wildlife purposes? I have a Tamron 150-500 and am currently using a6400 , which is annoying since no AF during video shooting.

I needed this video last month. I missed so much stuff. This is stunning. Great instructions.

Exited to watch this video. I have a trip planned for November, will that be a total waste for birding?

thanks. hopefully this will improve my shots

miales pokazac ustawienia do fotografowania ptakow a nie tlumaczyc do czego sluzy przycisk enter ...

19:56 where is that shot from

Great tips. Thanks

Super video and very informative , one question about the ambient light , with the Sony 200-600mm being F6.3 at the long end is that not restrictive at times in a rainforest environment when the 600F4 might be better ?

Thanks very much. Your very detailed. No in else said to go in and tap the specific map to get it working. Thanks

Thank you. This had been a nightmare until watching this. Top tip.

Wow, this is such a great in depth tutorial

Thank you so much for this video. I just got my lens today. I went to the lake Abba about some mallards. I thought for sure I was going to have track sharp images, but I was disappointed. I know it's me. I tried a higher iso for faster shutter. AV mode, manual mode. What do you shoot in for your bird and action shots, if you don't mind sharing? Thanks. Incredible clarity!

Thank you. I'm excited to use my new lens. I'm trying to find the quick release that you used in your video with the arm that you pulled up and put your foot in there, and locked it down. I can't seem to find that mechanism anywhere. I clicked on your ballhead link but it doesn't show the one with the arm that you have. Thank you

Great video all beautiful thanks for everything you’ve shared

Great video thanks for sharing

Thank you for a great review and the wonderful sample images!

Thanks, I was about to use a hammer in about 2 seconds.

great video and thanks for the directions as well. The Tetons are beautiful!

Nothing works with my filter. It stucked forever.. Only didn't try a thick rubber band yet, need to buy it

Hey Don, I've been thinking of investing in the Sony A6600 and the only thing turning me off is the 1/4000th of a second shutter speed. Do you think that it has been a problem in some cases? Also, for this trip, was the A6600 used? Thanks.

Hello, thank you very much for your video. I have a question, how do you get so close to the birds? I have been doing wildlife photography for 10 years, I have never managed to get so close to birds. Do you stay in hides with water points? If not, what is your technique? Thanks 🙏🏻

Omg!!! Thank you so much!!!

spend a while twisting by hand and with the rubber band it came off in a second, thank you

Hours of struggling and the rubber glove trick worked in 3 seconds. Thank you!

its definately an A+ for the pictures. thanks

Will the GPS on phone still show your location, offline, on the map you downloaded? Thanks.

Great video. However, if you need to use it for walking, like I do, you need IOS 17 on an iPhone.

Nice video and cool pics! Keep up the great work! :)

The rubber band option for the win!

Thanks for posting: The rubber glove worked for me!

I did it! Thx!

Very useful information. I'm just learning the ropes of flying bird photography and one thing that has been a struggle for me is throwing the camera up and finding the bird in the viewfinder when its on 600mm. I've been keeping it on 200 and zooming to 600 after I've got the bird in the view finder. That has helped me a lot. I'm sure in time I'll get the knack of being on target when I pull the camera up but for now this works.

Thanks , i was looking for this video 5 years ago, i thought there is no solution anymore.

I think you should do this with the a9ii and 209-600g

It’s crazy this is such a problem! 😂. Rubber band worked!

Lifesaver! Trying to switch to a solar filter for the eclipse and my cpl was stuck. Rubber gloves worked for me

Hi Don are you shooting in Shutter priority? are you also auto ISO ? if not could you please elaborate ? thank you!

great content.... I'm planning to purchase a6700 with the 200-600 will it be good for bird photography

Thank you for your expert knowledge Don. Kind regards, Phil

Can anyone bird i.d. @3:14 its got the color of a reddish egret, but is it tho?

That trick with the rubber band…. Awesome!

So I have the a6000 on the 200-600 getting a lot of missed out of focus is the a6600 that much better focus???

Your shots are really stunning.

Thanks, Don. You inspired me to get this lens and pair it with my A6600. I am a complete beginner and I am super confident I have a setup that will last me years. Hope I can come close to recreating some of your work here!

Thanks Don for such a nice description of perfect places to take pictures.

I am facing issue with A9iii RAW image in LRC-2022. Not able to open. I donot have any issue with RAW file from my A7iv. Have you faced any such issue ?

Thank you for sharing!!! Have you noticed an obvious decrease in pic quality? I’m debating between a1 and a93. Thanks!
