New lens not even extended. It may be a couple of days before I figure it out. Also thinking I may want a better tripod. Hoping most of all I can get a picture of my Hummingbird and/or the Baltimore Oriole
That’s a whopper...you will e like paparazzi Joan! I miss a big lens like that as I love to photo street shots & you can do it without anyone knowing with a lens like that....a massive drawback now I only use iPhone.
I think you'll love using this. For the distance you get, it's remarkably light. I find I can't carry it too long, but it is possible to use as a handheld for a little while. It's great on the tripod.
You lucky lady!!!!!!!! My Tamron (200-500) hasn't been working for months. Can't get it fixed anywhere. You enjoy your new lens. I found mine heavy also but I rested it a lot on my rolled down window of my car or opened the door up and rested it on the top of the door frame as I hardly ever carry my tripod around with me when I take my drives. Can't wait to see your shots now.
