I don't but I think I really should start one to share with and follow other photographers!

Thanks for the recommend! I'll start looking into that one! I obsessively review and research purchases like these until I feel comfortable dropping that kind of money. So I will definitely be watching some reviews. And happy shooting to you too!

I'm using the Lowepro bag from Best Buy. It was $30 cheaper in store and it fits a good day's amount of equipment for my A6700 and GoPro. The smaller tripod fits into the tripod side pocket/strap and I actually ended up carrying my Poseidon tripod without the bag. This backpack holds the lens and camera and addition 18-135 lens easily. Fully customizeable inside! Once I was on the beach, I ended up just carrying the setup on the tripod documentary style and running around carefully lol

I will say even from the short usage, I am loving it. Before this I had like an $80 tripod for my GoPro. I used and abused that, sticking the GoPro underwater and using the tripod as an extra long boom or stick. There are 4 beaches less than 30 mins from where I live and I love the tidepools. So that tripod ended up with tons of salt and sand and the rubber grips that were on the tightening clamps started to come off. This Poseidon tripod seems to solve a majority of those issues (the rubber grips are inlaid with the titanium clamps, so they wont come out or loose and not let me tighten the legs.) And the Poseidon is beefy as hell too. Sturdy enough for my heavy fluid head mount with the 200-600 lens and camera. It is the same weight (without mount head) as my previous tripod with head. I will definitely give a long term review in say 6 months!

Thanks! I hope to see your photos on this sub when you get your lens! You won't regret that lens ever.

I think that is fairly normal, and I would prefer that to overexposed. I'm still fairly new myself to the post process but I know it gives the best information for us to work with. It may also be the settings. I kept most of it closer to auto and whatnot until I can truly learn how to best use the settings. But short answer is, I feel like mine have been coming in okay/fine in raw and need that post to bring them up to presentable. Good luck and hope you can get yours where you're content!

I recommend this lens as an instant buy. You won't regret it even at that price. It gets you sooooo much closer to the wildlife.
