I Tried Bird Photography with a 400mm Film Lens… It Was Brutal

Описание: I took my Canon AE-1 Program and a newly acquired Sigma 400mm FD lens out for a test — hoping to train for an upcoming sports photography challenge. Manual focus, Portra 800, and tiny, fast birds? Let’s just say, I wasn’t ready. This video is a behind-the-scenes look at the struggle of long telephoto photography on film. No autofocus, no mercy.
