300mm plus Lens Club: discuss your long lenses

Nice shooting!

First post here - although the EXIF might say 450, the shots were taken with an A-400mm (the k-3 defaults to 450 and I forget to change it). It is really a fun lens to use - getting the manual focus fast enough for wildlife is a nice challenge.

Now if only I can be on a real safari the next time I shoot lions...

Were going to have to start and A-400 club, although there is an A -club.

One of my first with this lens.

Caught this guy about a week ago, you can see his new antlers are just starting to form.
