Sweet capture of an absolutely gorgeous bird. Great colors and detail and you have to be patient at 1/50 sec to wait for a time when the bird is absolutely still. Surprised to see no mirror lock up. Excellent work as always Romy.

Gary, the weak mirror slap of the 350D allows me to shoot at 800-1600 mm without MLU using speeds as slow as 1/40 to 1/50 sec. This body's AF is not as good as my 20D/1dm2 but I prefer it for the Sigmonster because of this.

Romy,

Awesome as usual! :) You are manually focusing that monster with a 2X?? Isn't that like f/11 equivalent wide open? Seems pretty dark to nail the focus like you did on such a small viewfinder. Were you focus bracketing?

Ed,

I did take many attempts, and each attempt was individually manual-focused (randomly, not bracketed). The bird's perch was swaying in the wind, so perhaps I just got lucky.

At moonshots and static subjects (whose distance doesn't vary), I do manual focus bracketing - shoot at the point of near misfocus then progressive turn the focus ring with each shot until the focus is at the other end of the range.

Maybe get a split-image screen for the camera. I did, and what a difference.
