The spirit of Christmas has survived one more year!
But it was touch and go for awhile there! 😉

Order has been in since August for this lens. Still no arrival. Maybe Nikon should build and stock enough before advertising.
WHERE you ordered from makes a huge difference. The bigger the store, the more backorders they take, so deliveties will be long delayed sometimes. I have had my 180-600mm lens since the first week in September. But I placed my pre-order in the first hour after release (June 21st) from a small store, NOT B&H or similar huge retailer.
If you waited until August to order you were very late to the party!

Looking for a reasonably priced lens for birding, please help.
How about the newest Sigma 60-600mm Sport? I have a leftover store display model available at a good price since I retired and closed the store. Like new on the box, complete for $1600 shipped.

Solar film and a needlepoint ring work great for me, been using the same one for about 7 years now. Cost about $16 complete.

I shoot Sony - a7Rv
And the OP has Canon. Your recommended lens is ONLY in Sony mount so it does not help her at all.

I bought a Tamron 50-400.
That is a good choice if you shoot Sony. But not made in Canon EF mount.

We're going to Alaska in May '24. I have a Canon 90D and am curious as to what length lens I should get. My choices are 100-400mm or 150-600. My main concern is the weight of the 150-600mm, around 3.5-4lbs. We won't be doing much walking as we both have mobility issues. I'm looking at Sigma or Tamron lenses. Thanks
Both the 100-400mm lenses from Sigma and Tamron are as fast focusing as the Canon, and much lighter to carry. The 150-600mm lenses do get cumbersome to carry after a short while.

It had been for your Nikon 16-85. However,I will pass on that lens.
I do wonder what you have left? Either Tamron or Signa. Thank you.

Both Nikon gold boxes are gone. All Sigmas are left. Tamron TC and one 15-30mm gone. The rest in the pics are left.

I saw this lapel pin and was wondering if anyone out there can identify it? The owner is in the Marine's. Sorry it isn't very clear as I cropped it to keep the identity of the owner hidden.
MARSOC pin.

Why does the bird look so much bigger with the 500mm than the 600mm? All must be cropped?

Did you sell the Nikon dx16-80? Is that new or open box or Demo?
Still have that 16-85mm DX. It was a store demo lens, like new, in the box.

Just got a like new 600mm f4 its old but like new condition looking forward shooting bird pictures. It is a heavy lens so plan on using a heavy duty monopod for support. Has anyone used this lens any tips to get the best results. My camera is a nikon D500
Its a very nice lens. I recently sold my 6 year old VR version in order to buy the Nikon 800mm PF. Don't miss the weight of the 600 at all, tripod and gimbal pretty much a necessity!

I was given a SONY DSC-W230 that uses memory stick. Please advise what can be used for reading and downloading the stick?
Lots of cheap multi-card readers out there that read the Sony memory sticks, you just need to read their description to be sure its compatible. I have a Neewer that reads 14 formats.
