took the first one with a borrowed nikon 600mm f5.6 lens. manual focus and had to use fstop ring on lens. heavy lens and built like a tank
taken at 600mm 5.6 on the d7000
900mm is great. manual focus is tough getting used too at extreme tele. it took me a few tries to get it right. ; I didn't try any inflight with it as I think that would be real tough as the focusing is so critical. ; Yes 5.6 is great. I usually shoot the tamron at f8 or 9 to keep it sharp so 5.6 is nice as I can lower the ISO.
Used the lens still goes for 1500. it was 3k new when it came out years ago. the thing is really solid
I never got anywhere near this close to anything at Montezuma last week except geese and barn swallows. ; The Nat. Wildlife Service has cut back so much habitat near the drive, not much comes in close. ; I did see some eagles and have pics but nothing of good quality. ; Will post later this week.
