Masinloc Long Shots

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I tried the Sigmonster (Sigma 300-800 DG) today at extremely long shots - at distances from 40 to over 100 meters. Light was not too good in the early afternoon, made worse by intermittent overcast, but I'm quite happy with the captures. The Sigmonster did well with the Tamron 1.4x TC (1120 mm) and Sigma 2x TC (1600 mm).

Ron, I have this lens sice April this year, but I'm just beginning to be confident in using it with TCs.

Romy, did you get another new lens?
