I'll leave this picture up for an hour and then delete ...........
To answer your question download the picture and then look at the metadata.
I snapped that picture yesterday as the hummer was hovering (in flight). Notice the camera on the metadata and the mm on the lens. The lens was a kit lens 18-135mm set at 85mm.
Notice the other settings ........ cropped sensor, 1/500, F/10, 640ISO.
I was 5 feet away from the little guy and yes, I cropped in big time in PP, thus the grain but never less you can take nice snaps of hummers with your camera and lens.

Nice shot! They are tough to get. I just spent the last hour shooting hummers and today I was shooting at 3500-5000 at 5.6 and 800-1200 ISO. At high burst with a 7dmk2 and a100-400 version 2. I think I got a few keepers. Had an incredible amount of hummers tonight.

Hummingbirds are not easy subjects to photograph. I have a few shots that are barely OK. I set up my camera, pre-focus on the feeder and wait for them to come feed. Unless you really know what you're doing it's pretty hit and miss. Here in Northern Nevada we only see them early in the morning or around dusk. I haven't had the chance to try in the morning yet, maybe next year.
