I just shoot 1000 frames and these were the 3 that were in focus.

I'm not buying that! You're getting almost all shots sharp and in focus. I know that. :)

I see. Well sometimes I ask myself, what is the purpose of MY pictures? LOL :lol: :lol:

OK, ok. I did mess up a bit. When putting this lens thru its paces, I took her all the way up to f/32 and has to increase ISO to 1600. Well upon that test, I was having so much fun, I forgot to reset the F and ISO and have some really nice flying seagull shots that show the effects of f32 IQ fall out and 1600 ISO :):) DOH!

Ducks ... mmmmm .... good eating ... (can you tell I'm on a diet ?)

And what the heck is with the weird hairdo on the duck on your last image?

Nice images Dante ... but I'd rather see some of your pecan pie! Better yet, send some pie!!

Bob, I agree. We are into full fruit pie swing at the diner. Tonight was Strawberry Rhubarb, Blackberry, Blueberry, Cherry, Peach and Apple. As long as the fruit can be had fresh, we'll make it. As soon as winter comes ....PECAN baby!!!

Psssst. Duck is one of my favorite things to eat. I belong to PETA (people eating tasty animals).

OHHHH TIm. I love squirrels. So tasty! Almost as good as the bokeh. I did have the 2x TC on yesterday just fooling. Left it at home for the the duck pond trip. will bring it tomorrow. Funny thing is, "the Hubble" like operating at 5.6 and up. AF does not seemed slower. Hear that MDJAK, this lens works great with a 2X TC!!

kinda brown. with greying side burns. But If I was naming this species, I sure as hell would not call it a grey squirrel. may be call it a brown squirrel. does grey mean something I am missing in the "queens english"?
