Lovely pictures, the second one is stunning.

Wow! quite a few stunning shots exemplifying why these get the * behind there names.

JayT, Do you have the exif for that last image with the fish?

Thank you. That shot, Marc's shot where the hands are reaching for the firearm are types of shots that to me seems to have that special rendering.

Just one lens for now, but each time a different genre...

First the FA* 300/2.8 - Civil War Reenactment images:

I'll post later on with the more images, including the FA* 80-200/2.8, FA* 200/4 Macro and (hopefully soon) the FA* 250-600/5.6!

Regards,
Marc

Marc....just wanted to say, I absolutely love these images (sort of stating the obvious, but hey!...) can't wait to see more.

Jay T,

Some great shots with that DA* 250-600. Especially impressed with that heron shot. Makes my efforts with the old M 400/5.6 look pretty sad.

Very nice lens, I want to have one.

pcarfan · 11-28-2009, 02:23 PM

Mark and Pcarfan, this is for you (Jay's the former owner). Does a pic of an FA* lens count when taken with a Kodak P&S camera?

I've sold my FA* 80-200/2.8 since I wasn't using it much and paid for the new Gitzo GT3541XLS tripod with those funds. I'm waiting until the new year to buy a K7, which should be great with this lens!

Regards,
Marc
