Down by the River.
Spent a little time down by the river this morning, I was really trying to evaluate a new to me old lens, a Canon nFD 300mm f/4 on a Fuji X-T2. All the pelican shots were taken with the old Canon lens with the exception of the two pelicans on the pilings which was taken with a Takumar 200mm f/3.5. The small Tri-Color Heron was shot with a Canon 100-400 II on a 5DSR.
Thanks Richard, Mike, and Toment for taking the time to look and for your comments.
Wonderful shots! Thanks for sharing!

the closeup is just beautiful, blurry!
Thanks everyone, as you can see I am a big fan of old glass, I started collecting almost by mistake, I was looking for a cheap alternative for a fast 50mm f/1.4 lens and after buying an old Pentax I just fell in love with old glass. For those who say ground glass is incapable of great images I would simply say take a good look at these images. I have three of the Canon "white" lenses between 300mm and 500mm but that does not stop me from enjoying these wonderful lenses of yesteryear.
I appreciate your looking and your comments.
