[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have finally gotten out to shoot something other than the hillside by my house to try out my new Nikon 300/4 PF lens.? I have a lot to learn.? I have never shot with anything over 200 and then rarely so.? I shot 60 shots with maybe 5 with the focus being nailed on what I wanted.? Admittedly they are all up very close with a very shallow DOF and all hand held, so any small waver will through the focus plane off, but they were almost all off in the same way.? I did not think you had to fine tune the focus on a mirrorless camera, but maybe I do. Anyway, here are some shots of an 8 Spotted Skimmer by a pond.

I have ordered a 1.4x Converter that is due next week.
