I'm interested in getting a little more reach for my 7DII camera for wildlife photography. I currently have the 100 - 400 mm II which I have no issues with except it doesn't always provide enough reach for far-away subjects.I'm interested in perhaps ...

I have a Canon 7D11 which I purchased on 12/31/2017. In the field this morning, I hit the shutter button and got no response. (I do mainly bird photography and have it in continuous [servo] mode). I turned the camera off, turned it back on and I d...

I have a 7D Mark II camera body. I noticed today it takes 30 seconds to display after I turn the camera on. I seem to remember it coming up faster. The LCD panel on the top comes up immediately. Is this 30 second lag the way it’s supposed to be. Do o...

Recently I read that cameras have a limit for the number of actuations/snaps you generate. I have an 80D and use it a lot. I'm wondering about the following. First, how many actuations, on average, can I expect to get before I have problems with t...

I have an 80D. I think I remember somewhere that when you change batteries you should turn power off. I generally do that but sometimes I forget. Is there any consequence to changing batteries with power on? I've done it about six times and haven...

I'm renting a Tamron SP 150 - 600 mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 lens at your suggestion. While jury's still out, I do like it. It doesn't weigh a lot more than my Canon 100 - 400 mm II (4.4 lbs to 3.6 lbs). I attach a northern harrier and osprey in fli...

I have used the 7D2 with the 100 - 400 II and the 1.4X TC. I thought the images were a little soft, not horribly, but soft nonetheless. I therefore just use the 100 - 400 II without the TC. I have no issues whatsoever with the 100 - 400 II but jus...

Your photos are excellent. Thing is, I think the Sigma lens at 6.3 lbs is just too heavy for me compared to my Canon lens (3.6 lbs). The Tamron at 4.4 lbs is reasonable and that's the lens I'll rent. I don't want to use a tripod except for low-lig...

Rodger, Great response. Yes, I know that the Canon 400 mm f5.6 is a great lens although found this out today (LOL). It definitely is affordable. Frankly, however, I really do like a zoom lens. In Florida, I often shoot wildlife at a distance or ...

Yes, I'll probably rent it. In reading the reviews, it seems like a great lens in its class but has a con of image softness at full focal length extension. When compared to the Canon 400 mm prime with a 1.4X TC, the Canon was sharper. Therefore, t...
