Hi,
I have just registered as a member. I am Ashok and live in Mumbai, India. I am a retired legal professional and currently have just acquired a Sony A7 iii with G OSS 200-600. I shoot birds, wildlife and sometimes landscapes and portraits. Nice to be a part of the forum.

Welcome to the forum Ashok and thank you for joining up. The a7III + 200-600 is a very nice combination for wildlife!

Thanks a lot Tim.

Ashok, welcome aboard. Great combo: retirement and a good camera and lens. The downside is that your work will still be subject to a review by strangers. LMAO You'll have fun and I, for one, am eager to see your photos of Bharat. Often wanted to go there for the sights/sites, sounds and food. You'll be comfortable here.

Thanks much Boojum. Hope to get some good ones.

Welcome, Ashok. You have the same set up as me and similar interests. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am. You just need to get out there and start snapping. Cheers.

Thanks David. Yes, hope to get some hands on time and learn.

Welcome, Ashok! I look forward to viewing some of your work, which I presume was shot in India. Borne out of curiosity (and not as a means of soliciting you,) do you still own any other Sony (or Sony-compatible,) photo equipment? If so, what are they (in particular, cameras, lenses, & teleconverters,) and are you still using them?

A great combination. Welcome and enjoy your new kit!

Thanks much @ Lev29. No I do not own any other Sony gears. I have a Canon 7D MK II , with a variety of lenses, and I did have Nikon with Nikkor lens for bird photography, which i have sold off after moving to Sony. Though I understand with a Metabones converter I will be able to use all the Canon glass on my Sony body. Havent yet bought it. Yes all my pictures are from India. Attaching some images out of Sony, with 200-600.
