amazingly they have spurs on their wings, may sit on eggs in inappropriate places and both will guard the eggs fiercely

Thanks redpit ! This lens really has surprising resolving power if you throw enough light at it ... A few more Xposted from the K-1 thread today at fairly high iso and still usable enough I think.
I could have done more post processing to hide some flaws and give more punch, but decided to just show what it is capable of with minimal tweaking.

BIF!

I agree, I've been reasonably happy with what it can do close up.

More than three years after this lens' release I have finally bitten the bullet. An upcoming trip to Antarctica was the catalyst, but next year's Le Mans 24 hour race seems like another good excuse.

Early test on some local not-very-wildlife. The shutter speed is a little low for perfect sharpness, but I like what I'm seeing.

Wide open at 450mm, hand held on the K-1 Mark II.
