I didn't realise you had limited mobility, sorry to hear that.Thanks Toby.
Yeah the weight is an issue, especially with limited mobility, one of the main reasons I've not been taking it out lately. When covid hit the local nature reserves locked down and getting to other places needed a new logistical plan, the carrying distance of this lens was too great so at home it remained.
and the price... yeah it almost gives me a nose bleed when I think how much it cost, but I'm glad I did when I did. The mk2, which I have, rocketed in price after brexit, and the new mk3 is near on 50% more than I paid for mine.
Thank youAnother masterpiece set, Snerks
Thanks Dave, took a while but got there eventuallyGood to see you finally got to see the Kingfishers Toby, great shots
Cheers, the local wood near us now has a couple of pair, I've never managed to get a photo one one until recently, whoever looks after the wood fill the bird feeders everyday so they like that area, bit of Lard works wonders as wellThanks Dave, took a while but got there eventually
Great pics of yours, especially like the woodpecker. Only seen them twice, although hear them all the time.
We have an area like that where people fill the feeders, you can literally sit in your car shooting out of the window (I get them in the trees though as I don't think it makes for a good shot on the feeder).
