Wonderful light. Nice work with the complementary tones as well - I especially like that second shot.

Only sharp shot I've been able to get the last few days. 2000x1500 crop out of the raw, resized to 1280 for web. K-1, DA*300.

The vivitar 400mm f5.6 made by tokina comes in two versions. The second later version is evidently the tokina RMC 400mm f5.6 with a TX mount. The first version is interesting because it seems to be a custom design. Although there are also two versions of the tokina RMC 400mm f5.6, and the first version also has a tripod mount like the first version viv, it's not the same lens - different size, body, structure. I don't know if the toks are optically different, the vivs are: 8 elements for the V1, 5 for the V2.

I think the more sophisticated V1 is slightly better. K3.

My standard crop from test pic of the castle turret, f8 IIRC.

Swallow, Vario Elmar 100~400mm @ 400mm (=800mm FF equivalent) hand held from a boat, cropped. Saw several birds on this little boat trip, but only rarely was the sun at the best angle.

Lucky catch.

I will give your more credit than you give yourself. This is a great photo. You could only improve this by catching the mythical man on the moon.
