I'm interested if these are the same optically? Any difference between them?

Hey Vic,

nice photos you managed to take. I'm especially jealous of the lynx photos since they are really rare to get in the wild. Are there different lookouts for different animals? How does the whole workshop look?

Hey Vic,

I'm guessing you should be back by now. How was the trip? Any nice photos to show?

Hey Vic,

Quite an array of gear you have there. I guess you're going on the Europe's Greatest Predator's workshop? It has to be exciting getting up close and personal with all these animals. The Kenya safari you have on your Picasa link also makes for a great set of pictures. Again...one of the things I'd like to experience.

Btw, I would recommend Slovenia for nature photography, like you said, there is a wide array of lakes, mountains, sea,... crammed into one little country

This sounds like an excellent opportunity. I would have to book outside of the agency since I'm not from the UK but it's definitely something I would wish to experience someday.

On the side note. Which lenses are you taking with you?

PM sent regarding the FA 50.

Sold on ebay.

@AndrewA:

I have mine on Ebay at the moment (link) and already received one offer for it. I'd much rather sell it on here though. Like I mentioned in my post in the classifieds, I'd take 80 + postage.

If you're looking for something else, I'd suggest the Tamron 90mm as well.

Sorry to hear about your emergency. I'll wait with the auction until tomorrow still.

I have this one for my K-r link. Works great, haven't had any problems with it.
