They are wily creatures for sure! I followed one multiple times at a relatives house over the course of several months and their attempts to evade me put all their skills on display. Much more capable then their usually ostrich like behavior would lead you to believe.

I understand all the logical reasons and I know someone will miss the sarcasm but... It doesn't really seem like there is much worth securing there!

I quite prefer my moons with a little daylight splashed on them, alas, it seems like they always come out at night. Kudos for seizing this opportunity. ---------- Post added 07-03-19 at 09:52 AM ----------

I've yet to see one pop the head off the fish yet. I see them flying right after the catch or on a pole just like this but I want to see the maneuver.

Can you un-bok it by one stop for comparison?:) Looks almost like the Spiratone 20/2.8 or maybe even a lil f1.2ish with all the light reflecting off the oof berries! ---------- Post added 01-18-19 at 03:28 PM ----------
I heard somewhere to get closer and lower with wide angles to change the perspective and get the most out of the lens' characteristics. Seems like a lot of people just try to get more of the same subject into the field of view.

Good job getting a couple with the whole bird in the frame, since they are almost never where you aim the lens and get set for the shot.

I am seriously thinking about it, as the nearest casino is less than 2 miles away.

Have you been to any migratory bird hot spots, major sporting events, or looked at a National Geographic magazine? What kind of equipment do you think is making those photos and videos and how much $$ do you think people have invested??

There was a wildlife exhibition at my grade school when I was a kid. A raptor, species unknown, landed on the basketball hoop of the gymnasium and performed this party trick. I still recall being surprised at how much stuff comes out of them.

This with all its functionality and advancements.... or a faster manual focus prime. I'm so torn.

I was looking for one of these a few months ago, ended up with a DA 15mm instead. This is tempting.

The plates that I've purchased in the past all have a lip on one end that rest on the lens' mount to eliminate that most of the time but yes certainly a design oversight.

Do you have a proper plate to balance that beauty?

I'm still upset that the copy I was sent, was a dud. There are some amazing results in this thread. Looks like a very capable lens indeed.

Move the clouds...put the sun just above the horizon line to camera right, head up, beak down, shake out the wings, and relax
