i've just got myself an F 70-210 f4-5.6, though it'd actually be two weeks before i get my hands on it. the reviews of the lens on the PF were pretty good and i was curious about the images taken with the lens. so i went to PPG to have a look. most of the images for that lens in PPG seems to have

I would disagree with Brian on the likability of the subject: I think it is a quite-nice-looking monster. It's a nice image. I would wish the eyes would be more in focus, - but I suspect one would have to have stacking to have the eyes, the "beard", and the legs, -- all in focus. Last

Subash, I also have that lens. I've purchased it some 15 years ago, while looking for a better tele-zoom, to replace my Tamron 70-300, while still being on a limited budget. I bought it from eBay for a bit higher than I should have, but it was a moment when they seemed to have been

The 55-300 would have, also, been a great companion and with more reach on both ends. I've, also, heard the cry that one cannot have too many lenses. J Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 2, 2018, at 7:42 AM, Subash Jeyan wrote: > > i've just got myself an F 70-210 f4-5.6, though it'd actually be

Re: enablement

Subash, I still have one from film days & I must say it's pretty good. However, I prefer my HD 55-300  (greater range & even better) so my poor F 70-210 hardly sees the light of day. Alan C. On 02-Oct-18 04:42 PM, Subash Jeyan wrote: i've just got myself an F 70-210 f4-5.6, though it'd

Re: enablement

I've had the lens for over 29 years and it has never let me down. Probably my most used lens or right up there. I enjoy the relative small size and light weight. Biggest no like is the external focusing which conflicts with the use of a polarizer, but that's easily overcome by rotating the

I've owned three of them, the biggest problem is they are getting old, first sold with the SF series bodies, (1984ish), first "successful" Pentax auto focus system. There are a number of points of failure that become more likely as the lens ages.   \ The problem is that the replacement

I know there are quite a few birdos on the list, so you might be interested in this live video feed. A pair of Falcons have taken up residence on a high rise in Melbourne and have just hatched out three chicks. Fascinating stuff! http://www.367collinsfalcons.com.au/ Cheers Brian

Re: enablement

Yes, i saw that shot in the PPG too... i guess i'll be shooting quite a lot when i get it because it is a "new" lens but i'll decide nearer to the trek whether i should take it or the 55-300. expecting to do some birding on the trek so i suspect it'll be the 55-300. thanks for your inputs, Igor.
