Lately I have been trying to get one good photo every day on my walk. I was hiking a local trail and after a practice shot of two crows in a dead tree I turned my camera off.

About 20 steps later I heard a helicopter coming my direction from the right over the woods. I made a snap decision:
~ Turn the camera on.
~ Extend the lens to 500mm
~ Point and Shoot

Single shot and zero crop. Coming from the film days I find it extremely difficult to grasp the concept of Spray and Pray: Sheesh, photos cost money before you take a picture and afterwards!

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
