Blackcap from my garden
SW 80ED + E 520
ISO=400 , 1/1000 s, handheld.
In my opinion time 1/800 s and above is enough for most situation in full light ( handheld) when object is not moving fast. Even at 1/250s with IS on I can get sharp images handheld.
Marsh Harrier
ISO=400 1/1250, tripod ( very sturdy Benro A4580F with gimbal head Triopo DG-3, total weight 4,5 kg ). Not very pleasant setup for long walks.
Common Sandpiper
SW 80ED + TC 2x + distance ring 8 mm- focal length 1300mm , 1/125, ISO=800 ( day was cloudy, almost raining), tripod, MLU 10 s.
