Tim, a couple (actually, three) questions: > I had a walk in the mountains with my new lens combo. There I found this, > "a Troll", they are rare. The name of this one is "Naustdalstrollet". > http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=183414
1. Just what is the "troll" creature? (I'm assuming that it's some kind of brown-furred animal, but, beyond that, I can't "get a fix" on exactly what I am looking at.) > The picture is shot with *ist Ds at f:5,6, 1/250, at about 100mm x 1,7. > Haven't got a lens hood yet, but I don't really find much flare. The > bokeh is very present, but I like it very much. 2. The bokeh is indeed "very present", but is (to me) a bit puzzling. Looking at the background at the left center, the doughnut-shaped bokeh reminds me of a mirror lens photo. 3. Which VS1 70-210 version is the lens? Fred
