Trying out, for me, my new (30-year old) Nikkor 300mm F4, mint condition, $245! Crisp shots of birds. In fact, my first BIFs, cropped and sharpened. It's also fine on a lot of other subjects too. I am ecstatic!

(Oh well. Been sitting here for a half hour, and only one picture has come through: Hit browse. Hit store original. Hit add attachment. Shows it's working, but then after five minutes, nothing happens!)

This is a great shot! Sharp and clear, wonderful eye detail. Color and comp are good- this glass should do you well! Thanx for sharing!

Good job Joe. Looks like you got a keeper (on both, lens and photo).

I would be head over heels if my first BIF had looked that good! I can see competition coming down the pike! And that's not AF, I'm betting! Really nice job.
