Another day at Palm Beach Zoo

PB zoo is noted for it's huge trees and consequent low light/shadows that challenge.
I wanted to test a older Tokina 80-200 f2.8 with a Sigma 1.4X extender that I have with the Sony A77II. I really do not recommend extenders in low light - as the ISO goes necessarily high when compared to using Sony's Clear Image Zoom - but I really wanted to see how well the Tokina and Sigma worked together.

These are beautiful photos, how do you like your Cannon camera versus your Sony?
A good question .....I really prefer the Sony - but I cannot afford their really good lenses -
-but I can afford used Canon lenses 
The older screw drive lenses for the Sony ( that I can afford) cannot keep up with the AF speed of the Canon USM...
