I thought your single in was with the Spiratone 28 f2, PBF, but it looks like you're doing one with the A 70-210 f4 as well

In case anyone wonders why I love this lens so much, this picture is fully extended to 210mm and straight out of camera, uploaded straight from the SD card, no further editing done at all.

I took this after chasing the deer in my backyard... they get fairly close but whenever I tried to get a picture they'd move the head away, or behind a tree or something... I think they're picture shy

so I never got a good deer picture and had to make do with the neighbor's sunflower that was looking at our yard from over the fence.

this month's lens is the Spiratone 28/2, but I noticed that I had not used the A70-210/4 in a while...

I had forgotten what a dynamite lens she is and made a note to use it in a future SIC...

Craigs Optics 60-300mm f/4-5.6

Even at 300mm, it's pretty sharp

Some motion blur on the next two because it was quite windy...

At the 60mm end, very nice as well...

Lovely bokeh in that first picture, almost like a pastel painting.

Big old Tamron 80-250mm f3.8 - this can be found as an adaptamatic (this one) and an adaptall, the Z250. An interesting old lens to check out. Pics: samsung NX20. The mount is a diy'ed PK see here.
(can't get pics in the right order)
1. Gull keeping a weather eye out for some chips f8.
5. Jackdaw being more proactive about it f8.
2. Tourist eating aforementioned chips, f3.8 ~135mm, this came out way better than wide open shots of white gulls at 250mm which were rather soft and "glowy".
4. What yer lookin at!!
3. 1:1 full sized crop. Stopped down this lens can hold its own against far more modern lenses - it was a pricy premium lens in its day.
