Well, the quality is there but I wonder since I am not familiar with the Vivitar 400mm. how such a small camera balances with the big gun. I guess a tripod is a necessity.
The pictures look very good to me.
My Olympus Pen EP-5 has a feature called "electronic tele-converter" that when activated duplicates the focal length of the lens in use. I have found it very convenient because I do not loose pixels in the conversion and small and light lenses like my 40-150 Zuiko at 150mm becomes a 600mm. Quality wise I could not complain and I can still use the lens with AF in any shooting mode.
Your images, except for the osprey, are excellent.

Thanks very much, camerapapi! This lens really does require a tripod or very strong person (of which i am not!). On the Sony, there's a feature called Clear Image Zoom, and i should have used it. I shoot in RAW all the time, and have to flip to JPEG and change image size to get the camera set for CIZ, so i usually tend to forget about it. But i should have at least tried it on the osprey - i know the pic stinks! It was just the surprise of seeing him with the fish that i was posting about. Thanks so much for looking!

nice shots , sharp , i also use old lenses from the film era , hand focus . at time you are better off using higher iso to use a higher speed , try hand held shots of flying birds .


Thanks agillot! I'm developing a small arsenal of these older lenses; they really teach me a lot. I'm not so good at hand-held shots with this lens, no matter how fast i make that shutter speed; this 400mm is a pretty good sized lens and i just can't seem to hold it steady off a tripod.

Nice shots. Shooting from as low an angle as possible helps a lot with pictures like these, but how low you can get depends of course on the setting.


Thanks Mike. I was in reeds and weeds for some of my shots that day, but alas, my fear of gators prevailed on others!

Really nice hooded mergansers. looks like you are making the most if the gear you have. Good job.

I hope to get by the Viera Wetlands on our next trip to Fl.


Thanks so much! This was my first trip there, and i live in FL . . . no good excuse! We had a really nice time; amazing place, but really BUSY all around it with new development going on. Construction everywhere right up until you enter the park.
