Ouwehands Zoo with the A 135mm/2.8 · 01:38 PM

Last week I bought my fifth 135mm lens....

, the A 135/2.8. Why? Who will say?
135 mm is definitely not the length I use the most.... But I love the A series lenses,
and when this one came by...I couldn't resist. Today was the first day to try it, and
these are some of the results. It's a mixed bag, all shot at Ouwehands Zoo in
Rhenen, The Netherlands...

It seems to perform up to your usual standards. Nice series and that first one is a killer.

PS: My daughter is a hugh owl fan and I now have drool on my keyboard.

Thanks Tim! Just for the record: the first one is a juvenile Snow owl...

I absolutely love the first two! Great!

Tim! How close were you to the owl? I will be going to the San Diego Zoo in a couple of weeks and I am thinking of picking up a 55 - 200mm for my kx. Great shots!

Great shots Rense!
I like the ice-cream portrait and I absolutely love the owl shot.

Nice series. The last creature is especially endearing.

Rense, it doesn't seem to matter what lense you put on your camera you make them all sing but I have to agree that the A series lenses are special.
