The beauty and power of nature
“As a fashion and lifestyle photographer, from the beginning
I'm been very excited about the versatile range of focal lengths
the SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 offers. The zoom
captures photos you don’t expect, that I couldn’t shoot with my
other lenses. The enormous telephoto focal length doesn’t just
bring far-away subjects into the picture in all their full-format
glory, but increases the depth as well: The foreground and
background look closer together – a fascinating effect that can
be used creatively for lots of situations in photography.
Even with larger apertures, the pictures have an amazing
sharpness and richness of detail. The new features of the VC
image stabiliser mean I can take photos now in lots of situations
without a tripod, and I don't have to worry about any blurring
from camera shake. If things get hectic, the new zoom lock
function stops the focal length changing when I don't want it
to. The super-fast and precise auto-focus is just the icing on
the cake - things like turbulence in the air don’t bother me at
all any more. All of this makes the SP 150-600mm G2 ideal for
capturing the wild animals’ powerful elegance in a photo.”
