    I’ve been seeing a bunch of baby beach birds popping up on my feeds and thought this one was especially good. Hope you enjoy it too!

    600mm f/4! Carrying that around would wear me out but the results are clearly worth it.

      Yikes! I know next to nothing about cameras, but when one of you guys react to camera info I always look it up.

      I can’t say this is the same lens the photographer used, but if it is, the reduced wallet weight may offset carrying the lens around.

      Jokes aside though, this thing does indeed look monstrous.

        Indeed it does hit the wallet hard also! Thank you for adding the photo, that’s somehow even larger than I was expecting. I love seeing the gear.

          I got a kick out of it once I saw it in context. Looks just shy of a full telescope!

      I agree! I might have to look into getting a print of this.
