1st walk around with CZ 80-200/4

[jsigone]

Rain finally left so got to walk around the lake w/ my dog. Her leash was attached to my belt so I can handle this lens. Trying different stuff w/ this lens and views. Still learning how to MF properly so I had allot of throw aways, better reason to practice! This lens or my camera has allot of purple fringing CA wide open on white to black objects. My takumar 200/4 is the same so I'll have to be more selective of the f-stop pending high contrast shots. Doesn't help it was almost noon time.

Here's part of the lake, 7 shot vertical pano @ F8

no tripod, no filters, F22, 1/10sec and -2EV was the best I can do

You have very nice living environment, excellent captures as well.
