Today I tested my 'backup' 560mm f/6.8 at the Yolo wetlands wildlife area, just west of Sacramento. http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/threskiornithidae/wfib01.html This lens has some disconcerting dings in the glass but if they made a difference in image quality this must have been one awesome lens before the dings. technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock. 1/3000 sec @ f/6.8, metered manually. All comments welcome.
