Thought I would share these two shots I shot yesterday. I used my new 200 f/2.8L II Lens that I got last month on my NEW 20D. I also had on a Tamron 1.4x TC, plus my 550EX Flash.:D :D

I sure love the way this 20D can nail focus on such a small target.:D

Excellent focusing! What shutter speed did you use? I'm curious in order to estimate the wing flap/second number. :D

Haha! Dennis, I cleaned the feeders out right after I shot these two. Put in fresh Sugar Water, too.:) Glad you liked the shots.:D

I was using my 550EX Flash, so the shutter speed was 1/250s. Glad you liked them.:D

Three to five inches long. A lot of them are about four inches long.

No 2 is best.
I believe you are happy with the 200,the only thing i find is that some times you are too close or too far,thats the reason i bought the sigma 100-300 f4 as well.
