First shot with the DA*200

After weeks of dithering I finally took the plunge and bought a DA*200 at FOI today! Only had time for a quick play once I got home but managed to grab a quick shot of the cat (as you do!) Really looking forward to getting out and using it.

Nice. Everyone says this is one fantastic lense.

Great photo, like the DOF and the movement of the cat in it.

That's a nice moggy - I hear those DA* thingy's are not too shabby either

Must save up - must save up - must save up

I know what you mean Stuey, buying a cat these days is very expensive

Simon:
If that lens is anything like half as good as my DA*s then your not going to want to take it off the camera.

Impressive - going to the show on Wednesday. Hopefully prices will be extremely high for any kit.

Thanks for the comments guys, it does indeed feel like a quality piece of kit. I have to admit I did try and zoom back as the can ran towards me

Then best lay off the alcohol when handling expensive equipment ! Those beer cans run awfully fast at times.

Quite right - I suppose you don't have to feed the da* thingy's

try feeding them.
I love yanking peoples chains... especially when the people are eavesdropping.
You should have seen the look on this one ladies face at the grocery store..
Gerri was complaining about the cost of a big bag of cat food.. it was like $25.00...
this lady is standing behind her nodding in agreement..
so I pick up this big bag of wild birdseed and say: "This only $8.00... why don't we buy this instead, spread it around the yard and let the cats eat birds for a couple months..."
You should have seen the shocked expression on that ladies face!
