Red -browed Finch & NH Honey Eaters · 09:19 PM

the first occasion to take some shots & compare with what I used to get with my old lens, even though I did get some great shots with the old lens, these seem sharper with better contast and are able to be cropped more if required.

Red-browed Finch... ( cropped a little )

Some New Holland Honey Eaters ...

cheers & thanks for looking

thanks Bob, I'm enjoying the lens, I've also been impressed with some of the shots I've been able to get with my tamron x2 adapter fitted
cheers

Super job, Cee Cee. I didn't know such birds existed - lots of color, for sure.

Congrats on the new lens Colin. You are sure getting some great shots out of it.

RobG · 01-30-2014, 02:47 PM

Nice shots! Is it the HD version of the DA 55-300?

thanks Susan, I thought I'd save my pennies and jump straight to a DA*300, that's been the plan for some time, but I can see that's going to take a while, its a lot of pennies

but I'm glad I decided on this for the immediate future, its substantially better than my old sigma 70-300, cheers

thanks for the comments Rob, not the HD, would have been nice, but.... found this for under $300 in pristine condition with box, pouch & caps, only used a few times - If I had of been told it was brand new I would have believed it.

I have the same lens then, and it's excellent, so it's still good news!
