[QUOTE="J-see, post: 443821, member: 31330"] Next time I'll try to get the chin right. Especially for you. ;) I had the 70-200mm but got the best results from 70 to about 105mm. Distance isn't a problem with these and they fly incredible close. I was in the middle of 6-7 of them hunting insects. I just moved with them. It's their speed and agility that makes it darn hard. The AF can't keep up with them and neither can I while panning. I had plenty a shot with zero bird in them. 200mm simply didn't work for me. Next time I'll try manual focus. It'll be hard but it'll be faster too without focus track locking on the environment all the time. [/QUOTE]
