I went back to the Fort Worth Zoo today hoping that the Spring Break crowd had found other diversions.. it was much better. I took the GF1 and the Minolta 500mm Rokkor with me along with the 45-200mm Panny.
The shot below was taken with the Rokkor. The Rhino was about 30 to 40 yards away. This is not a crop. This is the full frame shot. I shot it at ISO 800 at 1/3200 because the lens is f/8 and I did not have a tripod with me. I bought the lens on eBay for $150. Mint condition, appears to have never been used. The lens is quite small due to its design.. a mirror lens... you can read about it here: http://www.rokkorfiles.com/500mm.htm
And here is my favorite primate portrait of the day... more on the website in the GF1 section.
