dkCambridgeshire Posted December 26, 2019 Share #182 Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The 1986 vintage manual focus Canon FD 800/5.6 in the hide … fitted to Leica T but the sequence was taken with the SL 601. The mating mallards were approx 60m from the hide … photos have been cropped . I don't mind using MF lenses so the vintage Canon suits me fine and its £750 s/h price is a bargain. A new Canon EF AF 800mm lens would have cost over 16x the price. If a Sigma 800mm AF prime lens is made available in SL fitting it would probably cost over £4K. The Sigma AF 300-800mm retails at over £6K .

stuny Posted December 27, 2019 Share #183 Posted December 27, 2019 Well caught. Every time we've seen birds mate the act was over exceptionally quickly, so the photographer must be fast. Seeing the mating dance just ahead of time and reacting was a good move. The last photo makes me think of seeing green sea turtle mating in the Galapagos, an act that sometimes drowns the female. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musotographer Posted December 29, 2019 Share #186 Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) Not an inspiring photo; we liberated from a relative's attic my late father-in-law's 1970s photo gear and there amongst it was a Meyer-Optik Görlitz Orestegor 300/4 in M42 mount - a lens I'd never heard of. It weighs 2.1 kilos, is 24cms long with the jammed-on hood, takes a 100mm filter and the closest focussing distance seems to be about 10'. It is NOT a pleasure to handle 😀 - a tripod is essential, so it's good that it has its own adjustable tripod mount. It's not in bad shape, though it does seem to have some fungus. The pictures seem to be not at all bad - decent sharpness and good colour, with nice subject separation wide-open. SL with Orestegor 300/4, wide-open. Welcome, dear visitor!
