[QUOTE="Photowyzard, post: 73161, member: 8344"] The possum was shot on my backyard fence. You can imagine my surprise when I saw it. I had no idea what it was, I guessed. Never seen one in Toronto before. It just sat there, frozen. It was easy taking the picture. I know what you mean about collecting. I couldn't resist buying mine and I can't seem to make myself sell it. WEIRD! I will probably pick up an 800mm somewhere, when I find a deal. For anyone reading this, it has been mentioned, these are NOT easy lenses to focus! You have to really like using them as they are a challenge. Now, having said this, my D800 makes it a breeze to focus. It has a focus • on the lower left side of the screen and little < arrows > help guide you to the sweet spot. 100% better than before (well, for me before was my D90). I have more info I will post as I go along. One chap online has posted a way to get more out of the Mirror Reflex. His name is: Thomas Padeiski Here is a link to Mirror profiles for your camera and CHIPPING a Mirror Reflex to fool your D90 camera: [COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times]http://pindelski.org/Photography/download-lens-profiles/ [url=http://pindelski.org/Photography/2012/03/17/adding-a-cpu-to-mf-nikkor-lenses-part-ii/]Adding a CPU to MF Nikkor lenses[/url] Here is a cool link to making a Mirror Reflex even better! [url=http://pindelski.org/Photography/2012/04/16/making-the-reflex-nikkor-sing/]Making the Reflex Nikkor sing | Photographs, Photographers and Photography[/url] I hope this topic will ignite some interest and get some people who have one to share some images and insights.
