Makes total sense to me.

I'm also into nature photography though I haven't gotten any great shots with my telephoto lens really. It's bloody hard to line it up not to mention focus it. I'm getting better but it can still be tough.

Now close ups, portraits, and landscapes are my jam.

I hike a lot (probably too much) and drag my camera gear with me almost every time unless I'm spelunking.

I usually just shoot the birds in my backyard with mine, anything further away doesn't work because the flange focal lenght doesn't match. Old manual lens adapted to a DSLR.

Oh yeah, I think this is where the deer comes in. I saw one while on a walk, but it was too far away for me to focus on it. I'll need to get me a mirrorless camera to eliminate the flange problem with those old lenses.

I've got a Lumix G9 and the telephoto lens I use is a 100mm to 300mm which is a lot of zoom.

I dig my camera and that lens but man is it great for old manual lenses too.

I've got an old Soviet 50mm lens for 16mm film projectors that has bonkers depth of field isolation. Basically if a subject is behind another one I can focus on what's behind it. Basically like this.

Those old projector lenses have aperture values that are just insane for photography. Hell yeah.

Fastest I have is a Minolta MD Rokkor 50mm 1.4, very nice glass, that one. But very far from producing anything like in that video.
