The quality of this lens is amazing. I'll add some more photos to this thread once I have resized them.

Silver gulls beside Lake Burley Griffin. The lake is named after the American who designed Canberra.

A Purple Swamphen takes a short swim. They prefer walking to swimming, and have very long toes for walking on water lilies.

Thank you. The quality of results from the DA*300 really make it worth the price and the weight. Next I'll have to see if I can get a TC to make it a bit longer for situations where I can't get close enough.

Great series, Rob. The cormorant shots are especially good.

Thanks Greg! I've just been out to take some more, so hopefully there's some new keepers.
