Discussion Let's talk gear! Reviews, questions, etc.

Welcome, /r/wildlifephotography readers!
Equipment is an undeniably important part of wildlife photography, but I've noticed that questions about gear often end up buried by all of the excellent photos that get posted here.
So, I've created this pinned thread as a chance to discuss hardware. There are two main uses that I anticipate, listed in no particular order:
Equipment reviews - What do you shoot with? Do you love it, hate it, or fall somewhere in between? If you want to share your experiences, create a comment and let everyone know what you think. We suggest (but don't require) including photos as well as the prices of your equipment.
Questions Whether you're first starting and are looking to buy a beginner's setup, or just want to know which pro-level lens is best, getting others' opinions can prove valuable. For the best results, include details about what sort of wildlife interests you, as well as your budget.
Feel free to create different top-level comments for each question or review. That helps discussion stay organized.

I've noticed a significant uptick in stolen images lately. This subreddit is OC only, no exceptions.
Please make sure to report any posts which you think break this rule. Even if you're not positive, it's better to submit a report than not. We always review all reports to make sure that we aren't erroneously banning people.

I captured this house finch amidst the cherry blossom bloom at Huntington Beach Central Park, Orange County. Watching these finches sip nectar and ride the breeze through the branches was such an eyeful of color!

Bird European Robin singing loudly as always!

European Robins are known for being very territorial and they often clash with other Robins because of this. This is also why Baby Robins are born without the red feathers! Otherwise they would immediately be attacked by other Robins or even their parents.

Spotted in Nairobi national park last week.
It was so heartwarming to see a mother with such a large intact horn and her happy and healthy little youngster.

Large Mammal A few untouched favorites from yesterday's encounter with black bears (Dare County, NC)

I am beyond thrilled with finding these guys. The larger bear was in low light and at a distance so I struggled to get a great focus, but how can I not include that absolute unit going ham on some early spring greens? All taken on a Sony a6000 with a Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 lens.

Small Mammal Rainbow mink??

Had a lucky moment while exploring a new part of the St. Croix River (USA) today. I came across a mink after it swam to shore , and I happened to catch it at just the right angle. The sunlight reflecting off the water created a subtle rainbow effect on its coat.
