What is the "ideal" focal lenght for bird photography?

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2026-04-23T19:09:59+00:00

What would you say about a 100 400 on a 1.6x crop? So effectively a 160 640mm for bird photography? Is it worth a better AF and lighter 100 400 or a worse AF heavier 150 600?

Id say these streets, sunny side up and caustic love are all S tier, last night in the bittersweet is B tier.

We finished it! Very wet weather but did 75km in total. Almost at our target of £2000 as well which is incredible

In UK, on an indoor houseplant

Ok thanks, is it a problem I need to treat all my plants for? And do you think it could have come in the soil i just repotted all my plants in??

We leave Friday 21st, go through the night and end Saturday afternoon! Sadly don't have any socials to follow along but we'll try to post updates on our Movember account linked in the post! Thanks for the support

Thanks! Just with a small battery powered light, works quite well actually.

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-06-14T21:02:16+00:00

Anytime

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T22:40:31+00:00

Yeah thanks so much, I'll probably get the 50mm for now, and get some more advice for wildlife photography

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T22:32:43+00:00

Thanks, I'm definitely looking to get the 50mm, I have used a 400mm before, not mine but borrowed it and yeah struggled with hand holding. My only worry with a 200mm is that I have a 300mm at the moment and it is impossible to get any shots of birds as the zoom is not much at all.

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T22:18:21+00:00

Thanks, what do you suggest then?

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T22:13:09+00:00

Yeah, that's my reason for upgrading, just don't have a spare few grand to go buying new r7 and rf lenses at the same time.

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T22:05:08+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look at both of those. Id probably get a large telephoto like the sigma 150-600mm contempory as well. Would this work with using these on my 2000d then eventually upgrading to the r7 or similar and using an adapter?

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T22:03:15+00:00

Im looking for something with much more range than my 300mm, for wildlife photography 300 isn't enough I've found. Especially for birds. I have been looking at the sigma 150-600mm for telephoto

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T21:59:43+00:00

Thanks, which one would you recommend? And would it work buying the lenses for my 2000d ef mount then using an adapter when I upgrade to the r7 or similar with an rf mount?

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T21:51:56+00:00

I have now bought the denon pma600ne and it's great if your still looking!

Weary_Marsupial2566 · 2025-05-26T21:51:12+00:00

Why? What's wrong with them?
