Take a look at this harness. I ride an e bike with this several miles a day with a 28-300 Nikor lens attached. Very comfortable. I have two of these. Great Product, well built.

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE !!!

The type of camera you use, will "NEVER DEFINE YOU AS A PHOTOGRAPHER"! Only Time...Experience... and

Knowledge of the Art, and will do that.

I care not...where this "Mirror Less vs. Mirror Camera" goes. I learn each day. And I hope that this will always be.

I just think that some people "LOVE TO TYPE"...don't you???

That is all I will say about this subject.

Longshadow...I could not agree with you more, and you are 100% right!!!

Thanks,
Boone.

Thank you!

That is the answer I was looking for...because that was what I thought also.

I'm sure your right, and I thank you for your reply as well!!!

Thanks,
Boone.

I am a portrait photographer not a bird photographer. That said: What type of bird is this?

I see them at the last hour of the day. There are mostly 5-8 of them in a group. They almost always fly very high up.

Both of these shots were taken last eve. with a 600mm lens @ 1/1600.

One shot is a crop of the other. Very little PP was done to either.

I see these birds a lot, but they are so high up, that for me to make a positive I.D is not good.

So..."Dose anyone here know their I.D???

Thanks,
Boone.

Have used this harness for 1500 mi. on my e bike, caring a Nikon D750 with a 28-300mm attached to it.

Yes, you can pay more, but I loved this harness so much that I now have two (2) of them. I keep one in my

saddlebags on my bike, and one for just walking around. I highly recommend this for comfort, price, as well built

quality.

Thanks,
Boone.

Your Right, and I agree 100 percent!!!

Thanks,
Boone.

I have followed this lens since it first came out many years ago. So I do know a little about this. But...I can not get a firm answer to my question. (Maybe I asked it wrongly) I really don't "Need" this lens, but at my age of 70, I did order it because "I want It"!!!

That said...here is my question: I have also ordered the "Dock" to customize the lens for "Back Focus" or "Front Focus issues" etc...etc. (IF Needed)
I totally understand these issues, and this lens is "Tunable or Customizable as needed".

I have read (And watched on YouTube) about "HOW FAR THE FOCUS TARGET" should be set from the lens/camera for these tests. Some say that the target should be set at 12 feet for all testing. (ie: Focus issues and custom settings)
And some say that the target should be at 2 times the "Minimum Focus Distance". And...some say to set the target at "40 times the focal length you are working on. (150mm, 200mm, 300mm, 600mm etc...etc) I have done this with with several other lens, but...

"IF YOU HAVE THIS LENS...AND USE IT...WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CAMERAS SENSOR LINE AND THE TARGET" when making these adjustment.
Is one (1) distance good for all "Focal Points"???

Thank you in advance to all who "Own This Lens"!!!

I hope you understand my question.

Thanks,
Boone.

My Target

No snow tires for me! When I was younger, I could handle the falls now & then. I don't recover like I used too!

Thanks for the look.

Thanks,
Boone.

Glad you liked. I thought it was nice as well.

Thanks,
Boone.

Well...I do believe that the Fall Season has ended here in my part of Pa.

However, as long as there is no snow or other slippery conditions, I will keep riding my ebike on the back country

roads with my camera ready. "One never knows what one may see"!!!

Camera: D750
Lens: Nikkor 28-300mm.

Thanks,
Boone.

The Last Shot.

Very nicely done! Thanks for posting. With some filter in PS the OPF do not have the right effect, but in this case it looks very good indeed!

Thanks,
Boone.

Thanks,
Boone.

I like them all too. But if I had to choose just one, I would pick #2 as well.

Thanks for your time!

Thanks,
Boone.

Glad you liked them. All the shots were processed (NEF files) in ON1 2023. Loved doing them all. Thanks!

Thanks,
Boone.
