RE: Swan Portraits / Schwanenporträts
Your getting such awesome shots with that lens getting in close and personal with the swans

Thank you JJ, they were very nice and did not move :)
Most welcome my friend, how much longer do you have the lens on loan for, I wish I could get one on loan for a weekend, well maybe I don't I know if I tried it I would probably feel I have to own it and I can't afford it right now LOL
I have had it over the weekend, and I must admit, that I have already bought the lens, although I also cannot afford it - now I have to start saving from 0 ;)
It is heavy, that I won't take much other gear with me, when I am out with the Sigma, and it needs much light, and it is not easy to hold it steady for a longer time, but I love to look through the viewfinder.
But: I am still testing
Cool have fun with it and think of the muscles you will build lugging it around
It’s a beast but opens up some new and fun photo opportunities for you
Have I told you, it's heavy? The 70-200 looks like its baby 🤗 but you are right, there are new opportunities now - I could go to the hill at that lake with the nudes beach 😎😇

I think you may have mentioned thats its heavy a few times LOL, was it easier to handle with the monopod?
Isn’t that what lenses that long are designed for on hills over looking a nude beach :)
Have I? I'm getting old and forget things ;)
I have used the leg from the K&F tripod, which you can remove and use as monopod. It worked, but it was not high enough, and so I could only use it when I was sitting somewhere ;)
Yes, I think, this was one reason, why they developed such long lenses. There was another reason, but I cannot remember, what that was. It cannot be so important then ;)
Sorry what did you forget I should know but i have forgotten :)
My Tripod has the same function to use one legs as a monopod I have never tried it but if I ever get a big lens like that. Wil try it out, supposedly it should work at the same height as the tripod and mine stands Arte a good height for me so it should be ok :)
I have heard rumors that some strange people use if for weird things like sport wildlife and birding shots,, seems bizarre to me it is clearly designed for long distance portrait shooting of nudists
