Lovely video! As a Fuji Wildlife shooter, I'm so happy that I came across this small channel. Definitely deserves more love and recognition. Looking forward to more videos from you in the future. So happy you got to see the kingfisher!!

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Thank you very much! I was delighted to have a visit from the Kingfisher 😊

Incredible photographs, command of English language, music, and, most important, the way you formulate your thoughts. Thank you for respecting me as your viewer.

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Thank you very much!

Thank you for your videos! As a Fuji photographer myself I have been looking to upgrade from the Fuji XT3 and you helped me make my decision for a an upgrade :)

Good work Wayne. I too am a Fuji shooter with the same set up. Have seen Kingfishers recently but yet to get a shot. Easier said than done.

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Thanks Tim! I agree that getting good images of a Kingfisher in its natural environment can be challenging. Good luck!

Hi Robert. Thanks for the video. Soon I will have the same setup(body+lens) as on the video. I need a backpack also to keep body with attached lens during moving in mountain. I am wondering about the size of will fit in backpack. Can you share your view on the topic. How do you use the interior of your backpack with this lens and body. Can you share model of the backpack used in the video?
Thanks in advance

thx for this video
i am using 150 600 with xt3.. perhaps i ll buy the xh2s. grtz holland

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Thanks for watching!

[@peterjackhandy]

I recently added the x-h2s to my 150-600 lens & it's definitely the right combination for skittish birds.

Excellent video Wayne! I've got same set up, and am obsessed with getting KF shots. Wow, they're fast, and tricky to capture! No matter how well I'm hiding in the bushes, with camo on, they still spot me!! Tricky little dudes! I can hardly wait until Fuji comes out with a 400 prim, f2.8 or f4, for those low light conditions. But the Fuji 150-600 does work excellent.

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Thanks Steven! Yes they are beautiful birds but they can be tricky to photograph in their natural environment.

Great video Wayne ! Greeting from down under, I do have the same setup but with a battery grip, I edit all my photos un Capture One Pro

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Hi and thanks very much for watching!

[@madcat1007]

Lovely photos of Kingfisher. Shame you couldn't have made the backgrounds a little more blurry.

[@josephnaranjo8286]

Hello Robert, great video, greetings from Costa Rica. Bro I'm thinking to get this combo for wildlife but some professionals told me about this combo doesn't work in low light conditions very well. Is it true? What about the new update the autofocus work well?

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Hi and thanks for watching! I find the autofocus works well in the camera with this lens. As for low light it really depends how low and what your subject is doing in terms of movement speed. I’ve taken plenty successful photos in low light with this combination however a faster lens is optimal. If I was in very low light trying to shoot a fast moving subject a faster lens would be my choice. But of course they are more expensive if they offer a long focal length!

[@sauron7187]

Did you like xh2s’s subject tracking. Is it enough for small animals and fast subjects like a martin bird

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Yes I like the tracking I find it effective in many situations but of course not every situation. I’ve used it to track small fast birds effectively.

[@sauron7187]

@@WayneRobertsonPhotography which stuation not enough for you

[@lumilikha]

Nice catch you got here! :D Cheers!

[@WayneRobertsonPhotography]

Thanks!

[@VikasWildlife]

Just came across your channel and really like your videos and work. I'm also a wildlife photographer and am planning to visit the UK and was hoping we could connect. Cheers!

Nice kit. Until you use a fast prime.
