castnet Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Sony a77mk2 with a 150-600mm Tamron + a Kenko Pro 300 1.4 Teleconverter ... Soooo in layman terms.... fancy! Great moon too; I don't think it could be any more detailed if seen through a telescope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it out loud to my wife. She didn't say a word and looked the other direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DE Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 castnet not all that fancy..... actually for the reach it is pretty inexpensive by todays standards. Camera has been on sale for $899. The lens is a little bit over $1000 and the teleconverter is about $150. The magnification you see there is with the sensor crop factor, lens focal length, the 1.4x the TC creates, and the 50% image crop you are seeing a effective magnification of at least 50x and could be up to 75x So for $2050 one can get almost the reach that the highest end wildlife full frame that costs over $5k and the longest lens currently available for it which is a 5.6 800mm for $13k+. If you add a 2x teleconverter to this its effective focal length will only be 1600mm or 32x where the above effective focal length is around 1300mm or 26x with only a 1.4x TC. About $2000 vs nearly $19,000 ..... the $19K setup will shoot lower light and have better IQ BUT I like luxuries like a roof over my head and food on my table too much to get that deep into this In today's photography $2k will barely buy a full frame camera body alone.......... and 70-200mm glass averages in the mid $2k range as well for decent lenses. So $2k for everything with a focal length reach of 150-600mm is pretty inexpensive comparatively........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what he said Luckily, I do not have to understand that to see what a beautiful photo that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
