Excellent set
Your cover is completely different to mine. You have a transparent window. Over the switches. And extra sections.
Ok, sorry for any confusion. Yes, mine came from outdoor photography gear.
right cant sleep so thought id pop out for an hour to do some landscape photography.i just tried to take my 150-600 c off my camera but its not happening its stuck fast it rotates but it will not come off the camera.could realy do with out this now .
right i fell like a right b*****d now i was just putting it in my bag so i thought id rotate the tripod foot back underneath rather than on top.i have a long tripod plate on there aswell.the plate was cathching by the shutter button and wasnt rotating far enough.so its sorted now sorry for the drama lol

How are you finding the lens odd jim? I am still trying to work out if to get the C or S to go with my 5d3.
Great pics. Are there any restrictions on using big lenses like this in any of the Grandstands etc as I'm hoping to go next year for my 40th?Some shots from yesterdays (awesome!) British grand Prix all shot with the 150-600 c of course, and my Canon 6d, which apparently isn't a sports camera ;

Thanks. Lol, that's definitely something I'm likely to do tooThanks . No, no restrictions at all, just be careful if you're sat in the grandstands you don't pan into the face of the person say next to you, lol!
Great shot!
Hi, just wondering if anyone is using this lens with the Nikon D500 and if you are, are you happy with the results? AF etc all good?
Nice pic. Few comments being as you've asked. Obviously sharpness on the body isn't as good as on the head as DOF is still not large enough. However, it doesn't matter imo, as long as you have the eye in focus then the rest works. Were these shot in jpeg or RAW? The reason that I ask is that it looks like there is some NR artefacts creeping in which is reducing the overall sharpness and image quality (not hugely I hasten to add). For a shot like this I'd have shot at f8 to get the ISO down and get a cleaner image at the cost of a bit of DOF, but of course this is preference and I know not what you were intendingBeen experimenting with smaller apertures to gain more DOF at close distance, shot @ 480mm, ,subject 20ft away, @f/11, 1/1250th, ISO 1250, SOOC, focus on the eye, I would have said 'acceptable' focus on the rabbits body?
I suffer from IQ loss when posting to TP, looks better on Flickr

As I said, just preference, I shoot at 600mm (on FF) f8 from 8ft Without trying you lens I don't know where the sweet spot is but I doubt there'd be much difference in sharpness between f8 and f11 tbh and increased noise will play far more of a role in any loss of detail. On a bright sunny day I'd expect you'd get great results at f11.@snerkler
Hiya, thanks, yes, j.peg sooc.
It was more of an experiment tbh. At f/8 and subject 20ft away @500mm dof would be very shallow, I was just wondering if it was possible to stop down as low as f11 plus and still get acceptable sharpness. I was quite surprised at the results and for me, looked acceptable and wondered what others thought, cheers

Managed to get these images with only my third trip out with this lens. I am very happy with the results! All images are lightly cropped. Thoughts please!
1 and 5 don't look bad exposure wise on my computer. 2 and 4 definitely are though.Nice compositions with 1 & 5, but they all look a bit underexposed on my computer.
