Having changed to MFT around 4+ years ago due to heart failure and needing lighter gear , a few things over the last day or two has made me wonder whether it’s time for a rethink over long range wildlife photography .
These days and galloping towards 80 i rarely go on long walkabout either shooting From the car or its vicinity . So it would be a case of erecting a tripod and Head ( have both still ) and setting up . Thinking along the lines of going back to a crop factor DSLR and something like Nikon d7200 and a sigma 150-600C i got Super shots with them a few years ago .
I would retain most of my Olympus gear for general use when I do go walkabout . Although mirrorless is superior in lots of ways I.e shooting speed etc unless you’re prepared to pour money into constant upgrades .
Obviously money comes into it but the above seems a far cheaper solution and chasing around for rarities is no longer an option so I won’t be lugging gear round all day ?????
