The full pictures The camera was set to 100 ISO, it’s native ISO setting. All pictures taken with an aperture of f6.3 for the […]

Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 6: D7...
Introduction Another game to start. Recently purchased D7200 looks promising from the specs. I had the D7100 before and annoying thing was the 24MPix sensor together with the telezooms and the buffer 0f 6 pictures which is ridiculous for shooting wildlife. The D7200 offers up to 18 pictures buffer with 12-Bit colour depth. That does […]

Introduction Fourth test series is with the D800 but this time using 400mm focal length. This test allowed me to include the Nikkor 200-400 without a TC. The full pictures The camera was set to 200 ISO, it’s native ISO setting. All pictures taken with an aperture of f6.3 for the Nikkor, Sigma and Tamron, the Nikkor with […]

Introduction Third test series is with the D800. The Pixelmonster. Allows easily to crop to the D2x resolution from a 400mm picture. However, the camera is slow in picture rate and not as well handled as the D3. I mainly use it for landscapes and general photography. However, bird shots are quite nice as it allows […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 3: D3...
Introduction Second test series is with the D3. I used this camera for all pictures I shot during the Masai Mara trip using the Nikkor 200-400. Incredible results with that combination. Very good at higher ISO and also very high picture rate (you hardly miss a frame). The handling is outstanding. The full pictures The Nikkor […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 and Tamron 150-600 (Part 2: D2...
Introduction First test series is with the D2x. My normally used Crop-Camera. Unfortunately Nikon does not build semi-professional crop-cameras anymore. A modern 16Mpix crop-camera with either D2x or at least D300s body would be something I’d definitely would buy. The D7100 which I had for some months was good but the sensor did have too […]
Nikkor 200-400, Sigma 150-600 & Tamron 150-600 (Part 1)
Finally received my Sigma 150-600 Sport this week. Weather was ok to run a Test with the three Telelenses on all my used cameras. Cameras used were D2x, D3 and D800. All three lenses were tested with each camera. The target was a selfmade board having a printed testchart, a small plastic puppet and a […]
Tamron 150-600 vs. Nikkor 200-400
Testrun of the Tamron vs. Nikkor 200-400. To get comparable focal length I used the 1.7 converter on the Nikkor and set it to 350mm. Both use open aperture which results in 6.3 on the Tamron and 6.7 on the Nikkor. Situation is in the shadows, early morning hours. Therefore both cameras where using ISO […]
Testing long range
For upcoming Photosafari I wanted to test long range with the lenses I have. Unfortunately the Tamron 150-600mm didn’t make it to me with the first deliveries of the Nikon-Version lens so I needed to see what could compare with this. Tested with D2x and D3 which will be my first choice of cameras for […]
Another round of Close-Ups using AFS 200-400
Another round of close-ups using the Nikkor AFS 200-400/f4 shows very good results as long as the lens can be hold by hand. Tripod is a bit inflexible and the camera-lens combination quite heavy for longer sessions. So, some positive results but not as many sharp pictures compared to using a tripod.
