***LENS IS SOLD ***

I am thinking of selling my 6 month old 500mm f5.6 PF ED VR lens.

It takes beautiful images. IQ is definitely not my reason for selling. I guess I’m just a zoom girl. I thought I could adjust to a long prime like this.

I actually waited a long time to get my hands on this one. I took it on a few trips this year. But after six months, I still miss my zoom.

My primary focus is on Wildlife and bird photography. I have included a shot taken with this lens during this year’s spring migration.

Lens was purchased from Competitive Camera in Dallas TX. It is not gray market.

I immediately put a Lens Coat ($100) and a RRS foot ($120) on it upon delivery and I always have my hood on. It’s in like new condition and will include Lens Coat, RRS LCF-11 foot, original box, all paperwork and items included in box plus UPS insured shipping.

Paid $3600 + $220 in additional accessories + insured shipping. So, I’ve got $3,900 in it. I’d like to get $3,400. PayPal preferred.

PM me with questions. Thanks.

Attended a bird walk sponsored by the Audubon Society this morning at a local park. It was a treat to see this Yellow-crowned Night Heron as I went in search of Warblers and other songbirds. Also pictured are an Eastern Wood Peewee, part of the Flycatcher family and what I believe to be a Red Admiral Butterfly on a cone flower.

That’s a wonderful bag! I have it and I also have their Glass Limo. Both are great. Good luck with your sale!

Fabulous photos.!!!

Do you think, for a trip to Africa to shoot in wildlife parks, a Sony a6400 with a 18-135mm lens (200mm full-frame equivalent) provides enough reach? (ANSWERS FROM OTHERS ARE WELCOME AS WELL)


I don’t know if I’d want a lion that close but I’m sure other who have experience on that sort of shooting will have a more reliable opinion!

Yes, it’s definitely worth the trip!

Great shots. I compromised with the 300 pf f4 on D500 w/wo TC 14 iii at $ 2500, vs. $3600 for the 500 pf, (and the 95mm vs 77mm filter?) but often wish I had the extra reach (750 vs. 630) not sure using the tc to take 5.6 to 8.0 would gain that much in most light.

It's somewhat me, I'm sure, but there seems to be a slight sharpness difference with the TC 14 iii on.

I've been wishing for the 200-500 for the zoom, but practicing using my less expensive shoes, like you.

Love it for bif, focuses fast and relatively easy to track in group.

Having used 200-500 and the 500 pf fixed, would you go back to the zoom, or stay fixed?

Well, great question. Since this was my first long trip with it, the jury may still be out. When I purchased the 500mm my thoughts were that when I had used the 200-500mm, 90% of my images were shot at 500mm anyway so no big deal. But there’s that old wise saying “you don’t what what you have until it’s gone.” But I do really like the focus speed of the 500mm. It really seemed to find focus quickly, especially when a bird was back in some brush behind a branch or something. Now, there’s some instances where no lens would be able to find the focus on a bird...for example, I spotted a rare Yellow Mangrove Warbler and never could get a good shot because it was WAY back (like 20 feet) in the mangroves. But to me, that’s not a lens focus issue or an operator issue. It just is what it is! 😂

Those are absolutely stunning. May I ask a question from the amateur side of things? Do you find using a straight telephoto lens simplifies setting up your shots? Let me use an analogy, I find many people who shoot firearms with adjustable sights, tend to constantly play with the sights. Those with fixed sights, tend to adjust them once and just shoot. So, that being said, do you find when using a zoom lens you play with the shot a bit more than with the telephoto? Does using the single large lens allow you to set up the shot more quickly, reduce missed shots, and improve the overall quality of the shot in general? Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, and your thoughts.

I didn’t really think about that...great question though. I just found that I had heard the phrase “using your feet to zoom” and I found myself doing that a lot and concentrating on my composition a lot more with this lens! :) Thanks for your very kind comments!

Holy Cow! Those are incredible photographs! Don't know if it convinces me to trade in my 200 to 500mm but I just might! Where on the Texas coast? Port Aransas maybe?


Yes! Port A, Corpus, and South Padre Island we’re our main stops during our trip! Thanks for your kind comments!
