Went for a walk with my K 200/2.5 today. Came across a fledgling robin (I think), which had fallen into the pond. He had saved himself and struggled into the branches to dry off.

He could barely fly but I'm pleased to report he made it.

Nice report Tom. I glad to know he made it.

#3 is a really great image - love the colors and you nailed the eye in sharp focus.

Regards,
Marc

Two things Tom. I like Marc love the third shot. Secondly, hand over that 200 2.5!! [I can wish can't I!!] Nicely done. JIM

Thanks Marc and Jim.

Coming from you guys that’s high praise indeed. I’m partial to #3 as well. It has a little pop to it. Sorry Jim but the 200/2.5 stays put. I had a chance to buy one of these about 20 years ago and foolishly let it go. Got this one off EBAY 2 years ago and it is my favourite manual focus lens by far. Still see them on EBAY from time to time but they command a fairly steep price. Hope you don’t have to wait as long as I did.

Cheers
