Scan, so no EXIF nor memory of the lens used, but probably a Sigma 300mm f4 APO Macro.

Just wanted to say I greatly enjoy the wildlife posts from your film daze.

Thanks and very glad you're enjoying them. I have over 100,000 chromes/slides maybe 40,000 color negatives, plus a smaller number of B&W negatives. Now and then I have a batch scanned, as I did recently for about 950 chromes. Even getting that many selected, counted and prepared to be scanned takes several to many days. I doubt I'll ever get more than a small handful of the negatives scanned.

I can't wait to try this heavy old girl on something closer, however I'm impatient and sort of can't go out at the moment as the Mrs just had her wisdom teeth out a couple of hours ago. This was standing in my back yard, the tree is over my neighbours house on the nature strip.

Went to a wetland in the Adelaide Hills today, using the Bigma, handheld, uncropped. These 2 little fellas are tiny

I had to go back to your shots to see th offending lilly-pad. It is part of the grand scenery. Looks just great

I posted a thread on handheld focus stacking with the DA*300mmF4 and KP in the post processing forum

This is the stacked shot of a desert adapted lion that was watching a group of cyclists on a fund raiser for rhino conservation. I was the back up driver of the vehicle in the picture and it was took at respectful distance from the back of another vehicle. Another reason to have a telephoto.

Because of the hot day there was quite some atmospheric distortion visible on the Toyota

Thanks Basie - the setting is often important in telling the story.
