p.2 #1OM 150-600mm image thread
Really enjoying the images on this thread. It's been great to see some of the capabilities of the 150-600 in terms of images captured.
Tony, did you manage to find a workaround for carrying it given how short that tripod foot is? Curious on your thoughts on whether the optical performance at 600mm made the extra physical weight and ergonomics worth wrestling with out in the field vs. the 100-400.

and then build quality and how is the weight? .. is about the same as 150-400
how does it feel well balanced ?
The advantage of the 150-400 is that I hardly notice any loss of quality if I have TC on.. of course it is 100mm shorter but better brightness.
at what focal length does it switch to f6.3 ?
RonnyI might have some answers to all of those in a month or so. 
- The strap eyelets are different and larger, so one can't use the Peak Design anchor links.
- The tripod mount foot should be twice as long, as many like to carry the lens with their hand around it, but it is too short.
- The zoom lens lock is a great idea, but the switch is too small and very finicky to use.

Brian, I found a couple of longer anchor links that fit on the lens.
The 150-600 is definitely more cumbersome and gives me some great images, but I am finding too many instances where focus is off and I can't pinpoint why.

Just trying in-camera focus-stacking. Slight movement of the beak in the 5-image bracketing.
