Same with Costa Manos. 2 Black M8s with 2 28 f/2 ASPH lenses. He also does the "throw away your zooms" bit at his workshops.David Alan Harvey only uses the 35mm focal length (35 on M film bodies, 28 Summicron on the M8 and 20 f2.8 on D200). Sometimes less is best.
May be Kurt but I think the focal length you used did a pretty good job of putting the great Blue Heron into his environmental context. Not saying you would not have gotten different (and perhaps better) shots with the 200 though because it is a super high quality lens.I brought the D3 with me on a short trip to Florida. I thought that it'd be insane to bring my 200VR. Turns out, I was insane for not bringing it. I didn't realize that the hotel is located next to a wildlife preserve ... dooohhh! All I can do is make the best of the longest lens in my bag, the 85/1.4 and think about what would have been with the 200mm.
