To be honest, I have had very mixed results with the lens, Cuppa.
I am getting maybe one good pic in 20. The 600 I have is the contemporary style which is supposed to be far lighter than the more rugged sports lens.
And yes, I struggle with the weight. Mrs mudsane has been carrying the equipment in a rucksack for me on field trips.
I bought a cheap Inca tripod to use until I can find a good half ball type with a better camera mount.
I am thinking about building a hard shell case with a collapsing handle, pneumatic wheels and a seat cushion on top, so I can get to good sites alone.
I tried numerous different settings and modes for this shot of a Great Egret at around 70-80 metres away. The pic was the best of a bad bunch and is same settings as above.
And yet the Chest Teal is almost perfect. Same settings, but only 40 metres away.
