Hey
im newish here so, hi. :)
I was wondering if you guys have an opinion on the best lens for the amateurish/novice bird photographer? I have a Bigma 50-500mm but find myself dissappointed with the results.
Sure its handy enough to carry around but I recently bought a book by a professional Irish wildlife photographer and his main weapon is a Canon 400mm f2.8 . Its expensive, but i might go for it.
Do you guys think , for a kinda beginner, there is a better/cheaper lens for me?
thanks for readin
All pictures in my gallery taken with the Canon 100-400IS, and I am pretty pleased with it.
From what I know the Bigma is actally that bad so Iw old be interested to thear what is wrong...

hey jimmy2faces
I guess whats wrong with it is that it doesn't have IS and also you need to get pretty close to the bird to get any sort of decent shot. I need a lens where i can be able to zoom in from a long distance, therefore not scaring the bird away.
My shots never really come out as cyrstal clear as i would wish, maybe thats my failing, Im not sure. I have got some great shots but something to make things easier would be great
