Finally got a chance to take out the 600/4 again;
1. Start with a trouble maker
2. Then a bigger trouble maker
3. Now a curious bird
4. That suddenly got shy and hid behind a tree
5. A bird which runs into the bushes whenever I point the lens at it
6. A man made bird (couldnt help myself and try), I believe from the species JetStar

Very lovely set Luisv. I especially like the ducks.

Happy 1st day of Winter everyone

Nice set Luisv. I think the scaup turned out fine, better to get most of the dark plumage correct than a bit of the white plumage. Love the little Yellowthroat, Im finding the smaller the bird the harder it is to catch.
I found the 600mm to be very picky with focus on the A700, sometimes its difficult to judge the correct focus point. And if you manual focus, a 1mm rotation of the focus ring is quite a big shift in field of focus. My 300mm is much easier to use.
How do you find the 400mm?
