so happy today to see so many insects in particular, Butterflies and Dragonflies. Hopefully we will see a recovery this year as last year numbers were poor

thanks for replying so quickly!!! that is helpful
@[email protected] traded up my 400 for 600, but i though the minimum focal length of the 600 (4 metres) would be an issue, but it turns out it is okay :)

i'm sticking with the 400mm for now because i am a pretty small person but i've heard it said many times that 600mm is the most-used prime lens for wildlife because of its versatility
@[email protected] do you use a 1.4 tele convertor with the 400?. If you do, it makes the 400 basically the same weight and size of the 600... it really is practically the same. The biggest drawback in my opinion is the auto focus is not as strong as the 400"s , but the opportunities are more frequent with the 600

i do use the 1.4 TC ... but since i'm slower than average, it also provides me the option of removing it & going back to 400mm to give me a little more light/speed
if that makes sense... ?
@[email protected] yeah. Makes sense. I loved the 400mm, and would have happily kept it, but I wanted more reach and couldn't afford to keep both .
I've been shooting in bad light forever. [Comes with living in the the UK, and a love for woodland birds 🐦] so am fairly confident with handling poor light at narrower appatures..
