[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 545046, member: 24285"] Really liking this lens I have yet to mount it onto the monopod for my walk abouts but I think maybe I will after today, good for a quick walk but it is a heavy lens. I was focused on a bird waiting for it to take flight, trying to keep the focus on the bird, ... but even holding it up for a short while was not fun. Will have to try it mounted and see how I like that. I am amazed by how sharp it is hand held by this old amateur. Except the last image these are screenshots "sniped" in Corel Aftershot [ATTACH=CONFIG]204794._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is a 1:1 view [ATTACH=CONFIG]204795._xfImport[/ATTACH] This is the size of the cropped area compared to the whole image [ATTACH=CONFIG]204797._xfImport[/ATTACH] And this is the end result. A rather pedestrian image of a Sparrow, but a nice sparrow. I am learning to use the BBF Back Button Focus technique and found it useful to isolate the bird from the branches as in this shot.
