Woodland Zoo, Seattle w/ DA 70mm F2.4 Ltd.
Posted By: legacyb4, 04-05-2009, 09:04 PM

Took the DA 70mm to the zoo as my only lens to see what I could squeeze out of the lens; I knew it was going to be a pretty busy day because it's the first sunny weekend we've had in months so I wasn't really there to shoot only the animals but rather to try out the lens with a variety of subjects.

Here's what I came up with; almost everything is non-cropped except the odd photo here and there to knock out some stray background objects. Likewise, the only post-processing was some auto adjusting of levels.

Set #1
