I guess it depends a lot on your main subjects and the camera body you are pairing it with. I was not that impressed with the 200-600 given its size.

Used Eversure for years, never had an issue with a couple of claims. Good Friend fell and smashed a lens, adapter and camera - all replaced no issues.

+! for the LeoFoto stull, I run the LS-362C for my travel tripod and its spoton, also use the QS-70 Quick-Links another great product

In thst case I can see how you would still have a challenge, I have managed to run the same plates on everything so one tightness and all is good.

I use these from Three Legged thing for all my clamps, four main reasons. 1. I hate screws as they are slow when shooting on the move (Wildlife) 2. Screws are prone to not being tight as you have seen and things fall 3. This one has a locking lever (the black inside the orange) that stops...

Quite exciting to look back at trips from across the year. Otter on Mull White Tailed Eagle from Mull Common Blue, from East Yorkshire Puffin with from Lunga Tawny Owl from Lancashire Sika Stag from Studley Royal Iberian Lynx Kit from Spain Golden Eagle from Poland Grey Wold...

I have used the 3M type skins on my Cannon bodies for a while now, usually a plain black so its not noticeable once applied.They normally come pre cut to fit all the shapes of the camera body and fit perfect. When I have come to sell a body they peel off leaving no residue and you have a camera...

Not tried CC in a while, it was terrible then and sound like not much better now. Classic is very good, but you need to be using it as a Catalog as well as an editing tool. One of its powers is keywords and catalog management. I can do about 95% of editing in Classic and then some in PS

Which version ? classic or what was known as CC ?

Been using for years, never had an issue.

Its not Cheap but the GuruGear 30L+ is the best I have found for international travel with a long lens. Have taken the following on multiple trips without any issues > RF400/2.8 | | 70-200 | R5 | R3 | 15-35 | Batteries | Bins...

Both are fantastic When I was making the same decision, weight was the factor, the near kilo difference was huge in ability to walk & handhold. If your shooting style can stand support (mono pod best) then it may not be as big a factor. I shoot hand held 90% so it was no.1. Now it’s a few years...

I shot a 600/4 (albeit on canon) for a coupe of years, amazing experience. They are big and a bit unwieldy at times.

Having owned 3 200-500’s 1 x 500f4 And have a mate that shoots the 500pF All I can say is, once you shoot either of the other two you won’t use the the 200-500 again :) it’s not even in the same league. I would suspect the 600/4 wil be the same all though not shot the Nikon version. Had...

Thanks great info.
