Re: Wildlife lens?

Below 800 would be not breaking the bank. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look around.

Wildlife lens?

I picked up the 70-210 Beercan and I love it but I do wish I had a lens with a little more reach. Maybe up to 400mm for birds, deer ect. What would be a good lens for my a850 that wouldn't break the bank?

Re: Cherokee Rock Village, once again

All I did to the rock is push the fill light in Lightroom. The heavy colors and contrast are the Carl Zeiss. I did nothing to push that in post. Awesome lens. Maybe to many elements for a landscape lens. I think that's why I had a flaring issue. I am sure it will work better when I am not shooting d...

The beercan, just in time

Well the guy I bought my a850 from is a pro photojournalist. I ordered a beercan for it and put it on the a850 just before leaving work. I passed this wreck on the way home snapped the shot and emailed it in. The News paper posted it on their website within minutes. My first shot out of the can was ...
