Have you considered a 300mm lens? Pros: ~ See things from distances you would not believe Cons: ~ Your cute mirrorless is now 1kg heavier hehe hello random ANZ employee
~ Super flexible for most other things
~ Birds
~ Read the model/serial numbers off the radios on cell towers

@wolf480pl Yeah my 300mm was "only" 500£ new, I have a Nikon 300mm as well, but that was used and with the body was 250£ But has made my "nice" fuji a lot more fun to use for the style of photos I wanted to take

@benjojo I vaguely remember NasaSpaceFlight folks talking about renting lenses that cost $10k+ so that they get better photos of rocket launches. But those were so big that you mount the lens to a tripod, and then the camera to the lens.

@benjojo Why yes, and this Fuji 70-300 is complemented very nicely by the 1.4 teleconverter that sits in there too 🙂

@benjojo do not consider the 500mm mirror lens with doubler.
They are silly devices not meant for this world.

@benjojo micro four thirds would like to have a word.
I've attached my mft directly to my 1000mm telescope. Image is terrible but the moon can fill the frame
