Yes, I have RF100-500 also, and I use a camcoat. Apart from camouflage, it also provides extra protection.

[Sudipta Sinha]

Very difficult to answer. It can be different issues, unique, or a combination of many.

For example, distance between subject and camera, non-coverage of focus points, unsteady hand, low light, too fast clicking without focus, too shallow depth of field, incorrect shutter speed, unbalanced exposure triangle parameters, choice of focus points, etc.

However, I can say with certainty that there is no problem with your camera or lens. Unless there is some manufacturing defect in that particular piece (improbable)

I suggest you do the courses diligently and you can fix your problem.

Hi Harshit, thanks a lot for the suggestions. The second bag option is really effective.

[Sudipta Sinha]

With this budget, you may go for an APC camera, e.g. A6600. Full frame is costly.

[Sudipta Sinha]

You may start with basic and advanced concepts of photography.

[Sudipta Sinha]

Ritesh, I believe the camera chooses the photographer (Like Harry Potter Story, the wand chooses the wizard), So, It would be good that you go through Sudhir’s course and learn about the Camera Buying guide. Then if you need advice, I will require some information before I make a potent suggestion.

1. Your approx budget

2. Are you brand agnostic? Or the other way around.

[Sudipta Sinha]

@Ratul_D , I can suggest a few if you are looking for small birds and even small raptors.

1. Many trails around Kharghar hills

2. Uran Mudflat (not sure about Monsoon, though)

3. Panje Wetland

4. Tansa Bird Sanctuary (It is really beautiful but bit far. One day stay is recommended)

5. Karnala (bit tricky, though in Moonsoon)

6. Sanjay Gandhi NP (all season best)

7. Arrey Milk Colony (you have to explore a bit, no trails)

I hope it helps.

I am planning to be there. @sudhir, can we plan a short SSP get-together there? It will be nice to meet our online friends and have a chit-chat.

[Sudipta Sinha]

@Ratul_D

Sony 200-600. No doubt. If your budget allows, go for it without much thinking.

[Sudipta Sinha]

I am coming if not some unavoidable situation arises.

[Sudipta Sinha]

Hi @sudhir, So far, I am not too much into competition (although participated in a few) but I know why I never cracked into it. We would love to have an online session on this topic. Kindly arrange one for everyone’s benefit.

[Sudipta Sinha]

I have seen their website. But it was showing as not available.

[Sudipta Sinha]

Thanks, Sudhir ji. I guess this is such a useful accessory, but I couldn’t locate any available option in India.

@archana B&H sells this regularly. Maybe I need to wait for some time till my next trip????

[Sudipta Sinha]

Wow, even after frequent visits to Ranthambhore and Bandhavgarh, I never knew about this. It was your course only through which I learned that this is possible. Thanks a lot. I will try to make it next time. I usually travel with my family (my wife and daughter are both enthusiastic about wildlife), so 2 people limit may be an issue for me. But again, options are really helpful. Thanks a lot ????
