I was trying out my recently purchased FD 200/2.8 on my GF1 last week when good fortune provided me with a photo opportunity in the back yard (not good fortune for the Jay though). This juvenile Cooper's Hawk had just caught a Blue Jay and was having dinner.Hi
since we don't have such a thread I thought it might be nice to start a picture thread on my favourite topic...love to see your favorite birds
sure, I know that (and have paid some big bucks in the past) ... but I have found that sometimes in the non-L there are some real beauties.The "white" L lenses are the most corrected of the Canon
bunch. That's why you pay the big bucks.....
ok .. that puts a perspective on it. I paid $300 for my 300f4 (because it was in very tidy condition)The 300 cost me 725 with exterior paint damage and
just a segment, and from camera JPG is fine ... no processing please.I'll try to cook up a 100% crop of the raw for you.....
be aware that anything you see of mine is burned, sharpened,
leveled, etc, etc. That's the whole reason I have PS...
for sure, perhaps because until the micro4/3 there were few cameras able to make use of them. I'm able to use OM lenses directly on my EOS camera (and do for instance use a 21mm and a 105mm on my EOS). Lovely optics and I'm sure that's kept the prices higher too.I just picked up a Canon FD 135mm F2.8. Amazing little lens, and all of $41 in pristine condition. There are some real bargains to be had in FD lenses, and they are less expensive than the olympus lenses.
