The A-400, it's not just for wildlife. · **1 Like**

If you only take one lens it shouldn't be the A-400 but, if you did go out with just that lens, you'd still find lots to take pictures of.

Very nice isolation - and quite intense saturation.
I've known a glamour guy who loved a 300/f2.8 - but no one shooting that size. Nicely done.
Thanks for sharing.

If I'm ever asked to do some glamour shots, I'll give it an audition. I'll need a Walkie Talkie to communicate though. There won't be any complaints about inappropriate touching, I'll have an alibi-- "I was in the next county."

If I could get an A-200 to go with it I'd be in heaven... but have you seen the prices those lenses go for? Probably not in this life time.

Gorgeous work, Norm! Probably the best pictures I've seen from the A400mm (not that I've seen a lot)...

Totally changed the way you "see" your shots, didn't it?

You just have to stand a bit further back.... I've been watching for a-400s for a couple people who asked for them, and they seem to be pretty rare. There are lot's of M-400s out there, the As seem to be pretty scare. So I'm not sure how many A-400 images you're likely to see. If others like thiers as much as I like mine, I guess you're not likely to see a lot of them come up for sale in the future either.

Really, really great images Norm. Trying to decide my favorites but can't. Keep going back and forth looking at them again and again.

No need to pick favourites... I never do. Every now and then one image jumps out and says "print me" but it's rare.
