Thanks, Jack!
The best way to distinguish the shots from the Promaster is the bokeh,
which looks mottled to my eye. I try to shoot it a couple of stops down
from wide-open and avoid zooming all the way out if I can. But it still
looks really ugly to me compared to the 50/1.7.
The shot of the robin in flight is a good example of the ugly bokeh it
sometimes produces. I'd really like to find a nice, old manual focus A
lens in that focal range on the (extremely) cheap, someday.

Again, as in your previous posts, I'm impressed by your attention paid to focus. While I don't know which specific shots were with the Promaster 70~300, they are all crisp and well rendered.

Subject: GESO: Photowalk - 4/17/12
Hi all,
It's been over a week since I went out on a photowalk, so I finally got off my
dead ass and took the cameras out today. I suppose I got some decent shots, but
I missed more than I caught. I did stumble upon a great spot for morning golden
hour opportunities, though. Ten photos in all.
The shot of the robin carrying away the worm is a project I intend to return to
until I get the rendering right.
Anyway -- same as usual: K20D and K-x, A-50/1.7 and Promaster 70-300/4-5.6
