  1. Brian, based on the information you provided about your lens needs, I would highly recommend the 400mm f/4.5 with converters. I personally own this lens along with a 1.4x TC, and have found it to be exceptionally lightweight and quick to focus. With this option, you can easily switch to a shorter lens when necessary, and achieve well-lit shots for the majority of your subjects.

  3. You can try using it for a few weeks to determine whether it will just sit on a shelf unused. While it's nice to have the lens, it's important to consider whether it will actually be useful in practice. If it's a lens that you will frequently use, it may be worth investing in a USA product. After all, what's an additional $800 in the grand scheme of things?

    Well, Andrea, the best camera is the one you have at the time. I'm amazed at how many of my former followers have stopped posting. I hope you're still active.
  7. Reminds me of when I was a child and families only had one car, glad you grabbed the moment!
  8. Glad adding an SSD improved your computing. With photo editing, the SSD isn't involved with the processing. My thoughts would be to open the Task Manager during your computing time and watch where the bottleneck seems to occur. For apps like Photoshop or Lightroom, the CPU does most of the work (if it can) followed by RAM. I no longer have a mechanical storage unit in my box but rely on M.2 SSDs. Yes, they are extremely fast for Read/Write but that doesn't help my processing workflow. I can't imagine working with a CPU with fewer than 8 cores.

  10. "Everything for Bathrooms"? Jack, is that really the subject of your image or the storyline? Great tonal values and DOF, a lot to hold the viewer's interest.

    We have a Marsh area near where we live and the Geese just love the area. Great spot to raise a family.
