About 4 metres(13 feet) Paul. I used it some years ago to shoot a butterfly
(sent it to the PUG for March 2000), and was surprised how good it is.

Pretty bird. You must have been very close. I'm surprised the Tokina
focuses that tight.

Given some discussion recently about a suitable lens for bird
photography,
here's a recent one taken with the Tokina 400/5.6 stove-pipe of mine!
Manual focus, of course, so maybe not the best option for birds in
flight...

You guys are so lucky to have such colorful birds... I'll be in
Queensland
(fingers crossed) for a few days during our planned 3 week Aussie trip
this
August.

I saw a couple of these this morning while trying to hit a little white
ball:

They were very nearly wiped out buy one of the guys I was playing with
:-)
Any chance that you'll be making it to W.A.?
