300mm plus Lens Club: discuss your long lenses

Kombivan · 02-28-2018, 10:41 AM

I have a light a middle weight and a heavy weight. and I like the heavy weight even though the light weight is easier. And Thank you Marcus for the comments there were 2 osprey on that branch but I over exposed them. Too much Iso. I was lucky to get that shot. My other cameras istd and km were set up right from word go so I never played with them where as these s/h cameras I have to go through everything then learn how to use the iso as well these cameras are so different.

A hybrid car would be pretty amazing for this.

I want a self driving car so I can take photos instead of driving

Unseasonably warm here on Tuesday. The temperature got into the 60's(F). Got out with the K-3, DA* 300 and the HD DA 1.4x AW Converter.
