  • Birds of the Algarve, Portugal

    The Algarve region in southern Portugal is a beautiful place to be. It is especially well suited for family holidays where most of the family members are more interested in leisure time at the beach instead of bird chasing. However, both at a time is possible as the Algarve is rich of domestic birds and…

  • Nikon D7200 and Sigma 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary

    Simply spoken – WOW. This lense is a total stunner. It is very sharp, easy to handle, relatively lightweight and yet cheap. Also autofocus is convincingly fast. Works great with the peak design stripes when right-side connector ist attached to the lense handle instead of base plate. Weight becomes an issue after a while, thow.…

  • Nikon D7200 and Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-140 mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR

    I have bought the Nikon D7200 with the bigger kit zoom lense, the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-140 mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR. Time to give some credit, because it is a perfect companion to the D7200 in the hand of a beginner. For birds, you have to be very lucky that one decides to pop…

    I have checked out the incredibly cheap tele-zoom lense Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f4.5-5.6G ED VR. I was looking for a reasonably priced and lightweight zoom glas for taking bird pictures in the park and in the woods. Unfortunately I had to return this product since the quality concerning sharpness on the long end…

  • New binoculars: Nikon Sportstar ex 10×25

    For localizing birds in parks, in the woods, in the zoo, for hiking and trekking tours. I was looking for a moderately prized lightweight pair. The overall quality is absolutely satisfying! The only little thing that annoys me is that the spacer for the eyes (if you are not using glasses) are so loose that…
