They were the lead sponsor of the Biggest Week in American Birding this year, after several years of giving the festival a miss. I am hoping their sponsorship and presence signals that they are taking the birding and wildlife market more seriously these days. The 100-400 is a great lens, but my short experience with it only reinforced my growing conviction that, given reasonably well performing equipment, it is more about what the birds and wildlife are doing than what you have in your hands. This would have been a great shot with almost any camera and lens because the bird was just so close and so cooperative. \ud83d\ude42 Sony a6700. Sony FE 100-400 GM. Program mode with my birds and wildlife modifications.
