tell me what kind of gear you have and post a shot in this thread [View all]

i'm interested in hearing what kinds of cameras everyone is using (DSLR, mirrorless, P&S, bridge, smart phone or even film).

i shoot mainly with nikon gear (D7200, D750 and D850) but i also have a sony A7RII and lumix GH4 and G9, so i'm shooting with a combo of DSLRs and mirrorless. i prefer prime lenses to zooms because of speed/brightness and image quality (and weight)....maximum aperture is important because i like to really separate my subject from the background.

i mainly do wildlife and portraits.

here's a green crowned brilliant hummingbird shot with the nikon D850 and nikkor 300mm f/4 PF:

nice gear! GatoMoteado Oct 2020 #9

I waffled a long time over the 500 vs 200-500 HAB911 Oct 2020 #13

there's no doubt that the 200-500 is really sharp for non-pro glass GatoMoteado Oct 2020 #14

I would definitly like to lose some of that weight HAB911 Oct 2020 #15
