Hi..im using the standard 55mm and 300 mm kit lenses with this camera.im learning photography as a hobby .may i know which better lenses are available for bird/nature photos which are more powerful( i mean telephoto lens ).i also mean lenses which may be brought used.or are there shops in Delhi where i can buy these.one popular lens i gather is the Sigma 150‑600mm f/5‑6.3 DG OS HSM Sports?.thanks.Anirudh
Hi,
Is that 300 prime or 70-300 you are talking about? In that case you coudl explore usinga teleconvertor
150-600 is a good lens but very heavy 3 kg aprox which introduces another set of issues
100-400 is good choice
Longer zoom are required for birds, but tehre is always a trade off and only goidn for longer focal length or faster lense does not come without other tradeoffs, there is always a price ( apart from monney) to pay so working technique more important
