A good variety shot there, well captured

I've not captured a V22 in all my visits, must get up this year sometime.

Cad East is a real good workout to get up there, West is easier and imho you get the better shots as the aircraft turn slightly you get the topside and sometimes a complete knife-edge although your not as high up.

#3 Miniature willow for me Steve, I like the dark bg and the light just catching the yellow stamen and the hairs on the pods just underneath, excellent detail

CHEERS Vic.
Because the IR filters are imported from the far east

Vic, I had a K5ii converted last year here Cost with return carriage was £300 ish

Took 12 weeks partially due to Brexit / longer shipping times / Covid and the extra time to clear customs, I think they initially advised about 8 weeks.

Totally agree the 150-450mm is the better lens but then it should be considering the cost.
Taking into account inflation, the 100 -- 300 was what £600 ish new roughly 15+ years ago, can't be much difference compared to a 150 - 450 in today's money, im sure someone better than me will give us the answer
