Shooting the kitten from maybe four meters away.  (oh about 12 feet for you the old school boys).  [ATTACH]226915[/ATTACH]This is virtually untouched - just converted to jpg and downsized for upload limits. [ATTACH]226916[/ATTACH]This is cropped and processed.  The following give you and idea how gloomy it was today.Looked for birds - then spotted one on the wire at the end of the driveway.  In both of these images the background image is untouched (jpg-ed and sized only) while the insert has been processed.  I was amazed that you could tell that the birds beak was open.  In good light the birds colour may have come through.  The small plane is my PIF shot - notice it froze the prop.  [ATTACH]226917[/ATTACH][ATTACH]226918[/ATTACH]And finally a 'macro' shot - maybe from two meters away. This is cropped and processed a little.  [ATTACH]226919[/ATTACH]IMHO - I am like the results from this Nikkor 55-300 DX over the Tammy 70-300 (and FX lens).  AF is a little slow and if I had a flock of seagulls to chase and try and shoot I might change my mind but that kitten didn't sit still for long and I was able to lock on focus pretty quickly.  It does add that extra 120mm in reach - and on a DX body that's 180mm more distance (sort of).  I might play with this a little more. Having said that the 1.4 seems to really shine on the the 200-500 5.6e long lens and on the 70-200.</blockquote>
