Thank you everyone for the nice welcome
@woodworm actually my girlfriend did work for a short time at an animal hospital. She's not a vet though but trained animal attendant. I hope you'll enjoy your stay in Denmark, hopefully the weather is better than it's been the last few days
Cheers

Definitely not bad for the price and the lens surely surpasses my photography skills anyhow!
Being able to assign the green button to half-press of the shutter button is actually not a bad idea

Hi kh1234567890
Thanks for your reply.
Actually I think it was your review that led me to buy my copy. Bought it for £13 I think.
I primarily bought it to check out if 300mm was enough for my needs. I do find it hard to use for birds and moving subjects, mostly due to lack of skills I reckon, having to manual focus, remembering to check exposure and use the green button and whatnot
But I eventually came to appreciate it's close up abilities though!
I still ponder why there is a macro index on the lens since it apparently doesn't do anything
Cheers

Hello
Does anyone know how the macro part of this lens works? Was I wrong to assume that at focal length of 200mm or lower the focus distance would decrease? It seems the minimum focus distance is locked at 1.2m at any focal length.
I'd appreciate any help or thoughts. It's the same lens seen here on Ebay.
Cheers
Brian
edit: I realize it's not a true macro lens, I'm just curious if it makes any difference at all

Hello everyone
I'm new to the forum but have been lurking around for a while. I'm 36, living with my girlfriend and four cats. I'm new to photography but it really caught my interest when I started playing around with my Nokia N8.
I recently bought a K-5 with a DA 18-135, and also bought a cheap Miranda 70-300 Macro. I mostly shoot outside in the woods and been really enjoying it. Quite another experience from riding my mountain bike
So I guess that's it for now!
Cheers
Brian
