Hi, my name is David. I'm retired. My wife and I live in the Hill Country north west of Austin, Texas. Our back yard is adjacent to part of the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Reserve. The reserve was created to protect the nesting area of the Golden-cheeked Warbler and the Black-capped Vireo. Neither of which I've been able to photograph yet.
I mostly shoot wildlife and birds, but want to get into landscapes.
I've been a Nikon shooter for many years and have 4 Nikon Z camera bodies. I have dabbled in Sony cameras. First with the NEX line and then with an A6400. I also had the Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G OSS lens with the Megadap adaptor so I could use it on my Nikon Z-mount cameras. I ended up selling the A6400 and the 200-600 lens and bought the Nikon 180-600mm lens.
I recently bought the Sony FE 400-800mm f/6.3-8 G OSS lens. Also for use on my Nikon Z-mount cameras with the Megadap.
I just recently bought a used Sony A7R IVa and should receive it today. My main interest in this camera is for landscapes, but I'm going to try using it for wildlife also. I'm also very intrigued with the A7R VI and almost bought it. But before I spend that much I want to make sure I like the Sony full frame body feel and menu layout. Those are two things I just couldn't get used to with the A6400.
Thanks for letting me join!
