Heron & Pike With New Lens
Glad you made instant use of your new lens, the photos look really fine.
😊
Well captured and well done that Heron, enough fish for a week I would have thought

I'd be interested in hearing about your findings with this lens. Can you tell me anything about it? Is it a good performer and what is the IQ like, as well as how sharp is it at all focal lengths?

I had a couple of odd events when pointing the camera down to look at the menus when the screen suddenly went black. I think it dropped back in the photo taking mode. I found the best way to stop this was to park the zoom in its storage position, before the 55mm start, while fiddling around in the menus.
It was very bright today and I was out soon after midday so not in the best conditions for a decent landscape but I thought it performed quite well:
I hope this helps.

As I arrived I disturbed a Heron who was crouched down on the edge of the tow path. He had obviously just caught some thing large as he had a lot of trouble getting airborne and just about made it to the opposite bank dropping his catch on a wall.
These images are certainly not perfect having been shot in bit of a hurry, with a lens that I had not used before but I really wanted to show them because I believe I have identified the fish as being a pike!
These images are all shot with the lens extended to its maximum of 300mm. They were shot raw then processed in LR5 and cropped and resized in PSE14.
Having turned his back on me he dropped the fish and just stood there. So I left him in piece to get on with his lunch.
