Very lovely Winston,
Good composition, good details...And it's great to see the wonders of nature at this time of the year.
But I'm curious, is there a 70-700G lens that Sony offered that I missed?
Thanks for sharing your magnificent hummingbird.

Thank YOU ,
I was hoping...about a 70-700G I mean. That would been some range, even if very difficult and a little on the dark and slow side.

Wow
. Stunning shots Winston. I love the humming bird next to the flowers, especially #1. (Can't have been easy with that massive lens
)
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

Thanks, Birma. I don't understand why people think that. I was never able to do this with my old 100-400 APO. It's quite easy with the G.

Thank you. I don't have to track them; they hover for a few seconds.

Thanks, doc. I think what Gustav does is much more difficult. I have yet to get a decent shot of a kingfisher.
