My new telephoto zoom lens has arrived! And no sooner had I pulled it out of the case did an early evening pair of deer wander through my yard. As quick as possible, I ran outside to trap them in the tin. The first thing I noticed is that the lens is bloody heavy! Half my energy is spent just supporting the darned thing. There’s a built in vibration reduction, and boy is it needed. When shooting with this heavy lens, by hand and at a distance, I could use all the help I could get. Here are my first samples. As always, click on them to enlarge:
These shots were taken from about 30 feet away, so not too bad for what amounts to a point-and-shoot.
