I have the hyper-telephoto zoom lens SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary for testing, but because of the rain I did not have a chance to do so, before the weather got better in the late afternoon today. |
Ich habe das Supertelezoom Objektiv SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6,3 DG OS HSM Contemporary zum Testen, und wegen des Regens erst heute am späten Nachmittag die Möglichkeit dazu gehabt. |

I know, it isn't sharp, but I like how the deer looks :)
Canon EOS R | SIGMA 150-600mm F5-6,3 DG OS HSM C
ISO 200 • f/6.3 • 1/160 sec • @600 mm
The lens has a weight of about 1,930 g / 68.1 oz, and I have selected the Contemporary version, because the Sports version is almost 2 pounds heavier. | Das Objektiv hat ein Gewicht von ca 1.930 g / 68.1 oz, und ich habe extra die Contemporary Version ausgewählt, weil die Sports Version fast ein Kilo schwerer ist. |

Today in the late afternoon the sky suddenly turned blue and the sun came out. I took the Canon EOS R with the SIGMA lens and took only a spare battery and a spare memory card with me, because I only wanted to quickly photograph a few birds or swans at the reservoir. | Heute am späten Nachmittag wurde der Himmel auf einmal blau und die Sonne ist hervorgekommen. Ich habe die Canon EOS R mit dem SIGMA Objektiv genommen und nur einen Ersatzakku und eine Ersatzspeicherkarte mitgenommen, weil ich nur schnell ein paar Vögel oder Schwäne am Stausee fotografieren wollte. |

Unfortunately, I could not reach any closer, without frightening the deer, and because of the grass that was too high, I could not lie down to get a more stable position, because otherwise I would not have had a view of the deer. This is why the photos have not become really sharp. | Näher konnte ich leider nicht ran, ohne das Reh zu erschrecken, und ich konnte mich wegen des zu hohen Grases auch nicht hinlegen, um eine stabilere Position zu bekommen, weil ich sonst keine Sicht auf das Reh gehabt hätte. Deshalb sind die Fotos auch nicht wirklich scharf geworden. |

I will test the lens even more, but I can say one thing: The lens needs a lot of light, and I need a lot of practice to be able to take pictures quickly and stably. Maybe I'll try a monopod next time. | Ich werde das Objektiv noch weiter testen, aber eines kann ich schon sagen: Das Objektiv benötigt viel Licht, und ich brauche noch viel Übung, um damit schnell und stabil fotografieren zu können. Vielleicht versuche ich es das nächste Mal mit einem Monopod. |

This is a great hunt with great prey. These pictures made me, an old hunter, think of a tasty leg of lamb baked with vegetables in spices))) I’m kidding, I never hunted deer. But, I have nothing against baked lamb legs with spices and vegetables)) My Dear friend @Johannpiber, such pictures, this is how to find a golden nugget, you found! Good night to you my friend!
Thank you so much, my friend, and thank you, that you never hunted the "Bambi" :) I said before, that I do not hunt, but I must admit, that I do also like to eat deer, and of course, lamb :)
I wish you also a good night, my friend @barski.
Thank you very much for resteeming my post, dear @pixresteemer 😊

We splurged on the Canon 100-400 and are happy. We can shoot it freehand as it seems to have decent stabilization. 600mm would be the cats meow as we say, but I guess steady hands or a pod of some sort would be mandatory.
At first I wanted the new version of the Canon 100-400, but it is about 3 times as much as the Sigma, and I have read and viewed quite a view reviews before I decided to test the Sigma and save my money for the new Canon RF lenses, because for the L lenses you always need the adapter, which maked the lens even longer ;)
Because I have never had a lens longer than 200mm before, I will have to practise to get used of the weight of the 600mm, and use a monopod, lay down etc - the more I shoot with it, the steadier it will be :)
Hab die selbe Linse und bin sehr zufrieden. Bei Tageslicht einfach eine sehr gute Linse. Sobald du allerdings kurz nach Sonnenaufgang oder später am Abend fotografieren möchtest kommt man mit 6.3er Lichtstärke bald an die Grenzen. Für den Preis aber meiner Meinung nach trotzdem ein Spaßiges Spielzeug. Sonst einfach die ISO ein bisschen höher drehen bei aktuellen Kameras merkt man eh noch nicht so schnell was an der Bildqualität.

Danke dir für die Infos :) Das Ding ist schwer, aber ich mag es und ich werde noch ein paar Tage damit spielen. Heute war es leider zu heiß :)
A great capture. It truly is god's country where you are:)
Thank you so much Pryde, this deer was really a very nice surprise 😊
All countries are god's countries, if you say so, but with a few countries, he may have made more effort 😉
I think that is accurate. ;)
😉
Howdy again sir johannpiber! I thought the deer was very sharp isn't it? That heavy lens would be almost impossible to hold still though! But a monopod is more equipment to carry. Pretty soon you'll be carrying 50 pounds worth of stuff around!
What is a monopod, just a stand with a single leg?
A monopod is a single leg of a tripod, right. I can remove one leg of my tripod and use it with the ballhead as a monopod, but I don't like it, because it is not high enough for me and I cannot hold the camera steady enough.
I will have to buy a dedicated monopod, which will be more steady, than the thin leg of my tripod ;)
The deer is sharp, but not sharp enough for this lens, especially not the eyes.
When I take this lens with me, I will leave most of the rest at home, because a too heavy backpack makes no fun.
Howdy sir johannpiber! oh, this is about having fun? I thought it was about taking great pictures for the world to see. lol. No, I agree. If it's not fun thing is just work that you have to do more of!
This is, how work should be: fun, fun, fun 😊
I work would make fun, then nobody would wake up frustrated in the morning, because he or she has to go to work.
But, apart from a few exceptions, the companies don't want their employees to have fun, because while somebody laughs, he or she cannot give 100%.
Bad words, and I know, I am completely wrong. I know, that the companies are thinking different nowadays, but just one little E-Mail this morning has made me think of the old times back in the beginnings of the last century, when workers hat to function and nothing more ...
Howdy again sir johannpiber! Is that the way your company is, they don't want you to have any fun while at work? You should be able to work AND have fun.
No, we laugh a lot, but there are just some stupid people around, but usually we also laugh at these.
And sometimes the stupidity is to bad to laugh, and this makes me angry, but not for long :) Your comment has caught me in such a moment. After writing my reply I felt better ;)
ok, I think I get a good picture of the work environment now, that was a good explanation. You speak such good English, I don't know how it's so good if you don't speak it at home. or do you?
Hello @johannpiber
Perfect focusing on deer. Really awesome photographs my friend.
thanks for share with us..
My pleasure, thank you very much for your nice comment @tussar11 :)
I like these a lot. That's a great lens for The size and weight, and price! I want one! A monopod would probably help a lot. :)
Thank you so much Ross 😊
Yes, it's a great lens for that price, but I don't know yet, if I'll keep it, because it is so heavy ;) I'll do more tests the next days and try to get sharper photos, and then I decide, and I will try a monopod too :)
If you don't need that extra zoom out so far i can see not needing it. I've held a Canon 600mm before and it's about 1000 kilos LoL
I think, I'll have a bit of fun with it over the next days, because I want to shoot wildlife too, and I think, I will keep it - it's so hard for me, giving something back, when I had fun with it, and this thing makes fun :) All I need is to learn to handle the weight ;)

Not too sharp but I like your shots. New tele lens is my far dream )) And yes, with super tele lens more factor affect the result - hands, light and even breathing and heartbeat 😁

Thank you @zirochka :) - you are completely right, such a lens needs more than just point and shoot. At 600mm you have to be very steady, and this is, what I need to practise more :)
I am sure you'll manage 👍😊
Good luck and weather next time!

Of course I will try to, because I want to ;)
Thanks a lot my friend :)
Wow! This is an incredible lens! You could shoot the deer being so far away!
The contrast and details are just amazing!

Thank you so much @kaminchan 😊 but of course, there is some editing work in Lightroom also, because I shoot in RAW :) ... the lens is incredible heavy, but also very good :)))
Unglaublich schönes Foto, schöner Wochenanfang und noch viele schöne Fotos 😉

Amazing pics! Congratulations!
Thank you so much @javiersebastian, the next photos from this lens will be sharper though :)
This is so amazing!

Thank you very much, @kalemandra 😊 The longest lens I have had before, was 200mm, so I was quite impressed, when I first looked through the viewfinder :)
My Kind of deer shooting with a camera, and I think the shots came out real well I have read unless you have great light you really need a tripod or monopod
Thanks for sharing these shots and your thoughts on the lens :)
Good morning and thank you so much JJ :)
You know, it is always a pleasure for me to share my photos here, and occasionaly get some nice comments ;)
As far as I can tell, the light was pretty good, but I did not have a chance to take a more stable position because of the grass, and most of all, I did not have much time to change anything on the camera settings because of course the deer immediately noticed that something is wrong.
Deers can be so aware of what is going on around them fir sure
I hope you get more chances to play with the lens and see what you think of it
I even think, I'll keep it, because it's so much fun, and this weight will make me stronger - I can already feel my muscles are growing.
Maybe I'll also get a sixpack - I need only five, because I have already an onepack :)))
LOL I don’t have a 6 pack I have a keg, mind you I have done well slowly loosing weight so its a smaller keg now
That lens would sure help to buildup your muscles
I had to let google translate "keg" - never heard before, but now I know it :)
There is a saying, but I don't know by whom:
Ein Mann ohne Bauch ist wie ein Himmel ohne Sterne
A man without a belly is like a sky without stars
😉
Sorry about that, as you now know it means I have a round belly, even though Its ot as rounds as it was it still has a way to go
I do like that saying i will have to remember it
Beautiful
