My name is Grant Atkinson, I recently acquired my first Sony Alpha camera and lens, a 200-600g and A1. I live in South Africa and I take pictures of wildlife. I also use Canon gear. I have joined the forum so that I can learn more about my Sony gear.
Cheers
Grant

Hi Tim thanks for checking up with me on my Sony progress. So far I am enjoying the autofocus a lot, the EVF, as well as the light weight and easy zoom action of the 200-600 Sony lens. Coming from Canon, so far the thing that is most difficult for me is to remember to switch my Sony A1 to either Bird or Animal if I wish to take full advantage of the camera's tracking of the subjects eyes. I am often in scenes with both mammals and birds at the same time ;-)
