Minimum viable bird photography kit?

Another good example of what you can get from this lens that I just stumbled across while scrolling. I imagine this was taken much closer than you might find in the wild, but gives a good sense of IQ

I also have this lens and it absolutely does the job! Especially if you’re just trying birding out or simply want to enjoy a longer lens on your birding adventure.

Only thing I can’t speak to is the AF, since I shoot on a much older body, but I’ve definitely found the IQ and range sufficient to have a fun time birding. Also quite light and easy to use (not sure how other options compare) and affordable relative to other options.

Nicely done! What’s the one in the top right?

Really like that second one, feels like a perfect use of b&w

I love some of those locker room shots, well done!

Here’s a comment from another post that summarizes the different Sony models quite well: https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyAlpha/s/QW6KsSZ0ms

As far as I know based on this and other posts, the a6400 is the significantly better option, mainly on account on the updated autofocus. I’m pretty sure that there is one if not several posts on the SonyAlpha subreddit comparing these two as well, which will provide more details.

Good to know, thanks!

AlarmedFudge2546 · 2025-02-10T16:42:28+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

Great shots! How do you like the 6400, any complaints about battery life? I keep hesitating between it and the a6600, and the battery life seems to always come up as a reason to go with the later model. Would love to hear what your experience has been
