The whole traveling distance I tracked with my Garmin was 5490km. Using the 2 cameras I had with me I did 4549 pictures. Main lens on the D800 was the Sigma 24-105f4 Art. With the D4 I used nearly all lenses except the Sigma Zoom. Most pictures of the Birds were shot with the D4. The EV […]

Using D7200 for bird shooting
Main reason for this crop camera is for wildlife and bird shooting. So I tried it out over the last days using it with the Tamron 150-600 and the Sigma 150-600 handhold only. The results are really impressive. Even at ISO 1600 still usable and with ISO 3200 somewhat satisfying at least for small pictures […]

Introduction Second series with this combo is using the zooms at 600mm, main reason to buy such zooms. The Nikkor was again equipped with the TC-17II and set to 350mm which results in 600mm. 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 […]

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 […]

Using crop camera or FX with telezoom and converter?
After I saw some impressive pictures of the Sigma 150-600 using a 2x teleconverter, I wanted to see whether using a crop camera with a telezoom should be used for long range or whether a FX with teleconverter does the trick. I bought the Sigma TC-1401 which was introduced last year and where the 2x version […]

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 […]

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 […]
