I finally took an afternoon to have another try at hummingbird
photography with the Rokinon 650-1300mm. I swung the shepherd's crook
pole around, and that let me put the camera in the hall outside the
kitchen and change the zoom from 1100mm to 900mm. That gave me a
slightly wider field of view at the cost of a little less depth of
field. I only have juveniles left (the adults are headed south) but
there is still a fair amount of traffic. I still have a long way to go
in mastering the Rokinon but I expect to be shooting a number of other
subjects with it this fall to get in some more practice.
