Firefoxes are not wild in Europe:-)
Also known as Red Panda. Very popular zoo species, I love 'em.

Re: some animals with my 70-400 part one
Lovely shots Gustav, I can see why you like that lens, here it's a tad on the expensive side. Sony have it listed at $2,700.00 AU, Camera Action (Australia) at $2,349.00 (accepting orders) which means they don't carry one in stock, and B&H New York at $1,600.00 US, which is probably the best option depending on how much import duty one would have to cough up.

Re: some animals with my 70-400 part one
no it`s not in the wild , it`s in a zoo
for the snowy owl , you must shoot through a fence
some of the picture`s is taken at 400MM
and with all the picture`s i had my camera in my hand
in the netherlands this lens cost 1289 euro that`s 1850 USD
so greg B&W is indeed very cheap

The snowy owl is amazing those yellow eyes are very striking. I have to agree the red panda is very cute - you have captured a great texture in the birds feathers and the pandas fur.
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.
Re: some animals with my 70-400 part one
Nice images Gustav.
Have you been enjoying the short end of this lens too?

Re: some animals with my 70-400 part one
I like the details in the snowy owl pics..
Re: some animals with my 70-400 part one
Cute and lovely shots Gustav.
Such details and sharpness speak for the quality of the lens: striking fur and feather details while capturing the animals with their innate characterisitical appearances.
As a previous poster suggested, I am curious what your photos will be like when you acquire an A900 and shoot with the 70-400 G.
Thank you for sharing,
Yildiz

All in good time Gustav. There's no rush. I'm sure there'll be a dslr worth buying and finding the money for which may even be better than the A900.kingfisher wrote: yes me to YILDIZ
