Beautiful series. Wonderful shots.

Something to aspire to. Congratulations on a wonderful capture.

Now that is cool!

Really really inspiring.The bird almost took my breath but don't think I could pick a favorite.

As in WOW!!!

The warmth the last few days and bright sun got a few remaining buds to open. Got these just as the sun was getting really low. A few more days and a few more buds but figure that will be it till spring. Greta has a few inside plants so maybe a pretty flower if things go right.

I used this lens for several years. I got better quality at 475-480 than at 500 but had to zoom in to really see it. Are the new lens sharper,you bet, but not so much at the time. It was popular and a good copy gave good results. When I got a canon 100-400 and 1.4 i put it in the cabinet and it is still there. Noticeable quality jump and a big notable cost difference. Today's software can help with sharpness but your base image will still be soft. All that said look at the lens that are big sellers from any manufacturer. High end super sharp lens are not on their top sellers list. Only you know satisfied you will be. It will give you good results but not "count the hair on a flies head" sharp.

I figure you are right. Also figure 3rd party supplier won't be far behind in getting around it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you,
