Santa must have deemed me a good boy this year, because I got a new lens! I’ve always pined for a nice zoom lens, and now I’m so excited to have one in my toolkit.
I had to put it to work immediately with some bird watching to see what it’s capable of – and I haven’t been disappointed yet!
Case in point: I was able to sneak up on some beautiful bluebirds that were nesting in a birdhouse on a fence row. I’d have scared them off before I got close enough to get a decent picture with my 28-75mm Tamron f2.8.
It’s amazing how much more aware of the varieties of birds we have around our place since getting this lens. Woodpeckers are frequent visitors around our neck of the woods, and despite their flighty nature, I’ve been lucky to snag a few shots.
Overall, I’ve been more than happy with the results from this lens so far. For bird watching, the Sigma 150-600mm zoom does a great job as long as there’s adequate light.
