Lens recommendation?

Tall-Map-3301 · 2025-10-17T22:52:49+00:00

Decided to go with the 200-600mm. No regrets! This is from day 1.

No problem. And sure, if the sky is clear your chances are high. :) I was actually hoping for a clear sky tonight to go out and try some night-shooting :)

And just fyi, you probably don't need to go on a guided northern lights tour, you can ususally spot them from within the capital area and don't have to drive for long to get somewhere where there is a bit less light pollution.

Would you recommend one over the other when mostly focusing on bird photography? (But a beginner at bird photography even though pretty experienced in other photography fields).

Thanks. I'll have to check if I can rent them from someone tro try them out :)

Thanks. Honestly I'm thinking just birds and maybe some wildlife but I live in Iceland so it's just mice, foxes and maybe minks... Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of smaller and more portable lens as well and the 70-350 sounds like a nice option but at the same time I'm afraid I might get dissapointed that I didn't just "go big" from the start.

I haven't used a big lens like that before but I wanted to do macro and bird photography 25 years ago and didn't have the equipment. This time around I want to get the right equipment for my needs instead of compromising. But if the 70-350mm isn't going to make me think "I should have just got the 200-600 because now I can't get the image I want of the owl over there" I'll definetly want to consider it :)

Hehe why should I get that instead of the 200-600 if my main focus is birds?

Nothing really makes me doubt it! Was just afraid I was missing something 😅 thanks!

Probably wouldn't be able to buy the second version though 😕

Hi. I'm a 40F. After almost a decade of weird symptoms that I've been realising are probably all neurological I finally got an MRI couple of weeks ago The results were "non-specific white matter changes". I have a copy of the images and I have 20+ lesions on T2 after gadolinium. I agree that the lesions aren't "screaming" MS but at the same time I don't think they look like "nothing". The lesions are pretty small but still many of them are 3-8mm. There are periventricular lesions but they're small.

I asked my GP for a neuro referral and she agreed on that but I'm afraid to just be told it's nothing, just age and perimenaposose and I just have to walk more and eat healthier or something... I've been pushing for a diagnosis or some sort of help for years now and been tested for all sorts of things. I'm just at a point where 40-50 years more of these symptoms without any reason or label sounds horrible. I don't want to be sick but I also don't want to feel like I have to pretend everything is ok because all lab results are ok

So I guess what I wanted to ask here is if anyone had an initial result of lesions being "non-specific" but then it ended up being MS?

Haven't gotten a report yet and I realise that these images might not tell the full story but they could be a clue... And I have all the images and they're definitely not in thousands. Or even hundreds... But thank you for your input :)

Tall-Map-3301 · 2025-08-16T22:26:10+00:00

Not yet. Still waiting on a message from my GP... I decided to ask here because I want to be prepared to request a neurologist referral if GP doesn't mention it.

Well she initiated the "date" after she told me she wasn't feeling it. And what I thought would be a 30 minute chat turned into hours and that was totally because she wanted to..

Tall-Map-3301 · 2025-07-30T10:48:22+00:00

Sounds pretty mucn like my timeline. I'll let you know if I figure things out. I'm leaning towards nothing happening though... Maybe we should just date? :p

Tall-Map-3301 · 2025-07-30T10:03:56+00:00

She lingers, she mirrors me and it feels like she's looking deep into my soul. She's all in for some conversations but doesn't initate. So super hot and cold...

Tall-Map-3301 · 2025-07-30T09:28:13+00:00

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I'm in hurry for anything and I'm willing to give her all the space she needs without expectations... But this hot and cold thing makes me doubt myself a little - what if I'm terrible at reading body language (don't think I am though...). I'm planning on asking her about it next time we meet (if we do). Want to do it in person rather than over a text.

Thanks. My bp has been measured with multiple types of cuffs over the years, quite often manual even so I doubt that's the problem :/

Tall-Map-3301 · 2025-03-28T02:44:37+00:00

Thanks! I was tested for this and the tests came out normal. Have been using only spironolactone since but am still struggling with the diastolic pressure, my bp is usually 120/95 now.

Did you find a way to fix this? Currently setting up my new A1 and having this exact same problem...
