I agree wholeheartedly!!!

A new 400/5.6 is exactly what we need to fill out the series - 200/2.8, 300/4.0, 400/5.6 - PERFECT!!

Super images Norm. You've really got that combination dialled in, and it shows the native quality of the DA*200 that you can use it with stacked TC's and still have such good photos.

Another great series Norm. "The Keeper" is definitely that.




Wonderful shots Steven.



Good one Derek, I like it.



Great series again, Philip. I love the Flamingoes in flight.

Thanks Russell. It's a versatile lens - I've used it for motor sport and BIF with good results.

Thanks Dieseler. Swallows in flight are really tough to capture - this was the best of 40 or 50 frames, most of which were not in focus.

Thank you James (& Otis). I was actually surprised I got this shot at all - the little guy was in deep shade about 7 or 8 metres away, so I tried the pop-up flash on the K3 with the Bigma at 420mm. I'm amazed at the result!
Birds with food in their mouths are usually sitting still, which makes them a little easier to capture.:)

Also, thanks everyone for the likes.

Great photos Everyone! It's always a treat to see wildlife pics from different parts of the world.

Some shots from last weekend, using the K3 and the old Bigma - Royal Spoonbill, Great Egret, and a couple of dragonflies:

Thanks Gary. A K3 would be a fine companion for your lenses.



Thanks Norm.



Thanks Albert. The "bad hair day bird" is an Australian Magpie Lark, colloquially known as a "Peewee", as that is the sound it makes when vocalizing.

Also, thanks everyone for the likes - they are always appreciated.

Ray and Michael, thanks for the kind words. I'm really happy with these, as I was using the Kx instead of the K3. The Kx + Bigma has always been a good combination.
