Thanks everyone for your kind comments and encouragement.
It's indeed addictive. The trouble is that this addiction is correlated to GAS . Currently, I'm looking into ways to get more reach: I'll probably rent one of those big white's for a day to see how I can handle the weight and mass. Ideally, I'd like to have something that offers more reach than my current 70-400G (i.e. 600mm on APSC), but is handholdable for brief periods of time. Currently I'm thinking about the setups below. Even if I sell off a lot of gear, I'm not sure whether I could afford say, a 500mm II (may be if it's used). Out of the combinations below, what would think is the best compromise between reach, image quality, AF and weight?
D810 (in 1.2 or crop mode) and 150-600: Crop mode is not ideal, but I like the D810's high ISO performance.
a77ii and 300G2 + 2x TC: AF would be slow, but that lens is excellent, close to the Canon equivalent.
7D2 and 400 DO I and 1.4x TC: The size and range would be great, but opinion on this lens seems to be divided. It would be great, if the version II would be slightly more affordable.
7D2 and 300mm II + 2x TC: From the pictures I've seen, the quality is fine, but AF probably is slow.
7D2 and 500 I +1.4x TC: Here the question is whether my back will hold up and whether I can use this one without a gimbal, for instance using a solid monopod.
Here are a few more pictures from the same trip:
Bring it on...
Unfortunately, that tree branch got in the way, but I really liked that eagles' facial expression.
