A slow 200mm lens by any standard.
Here are some images that I captured this afternoon at full aperture (f5)
The subject is a male king parrot - we see them often here.
Cheers

Thanks for the kind words.
Australia does have a large variety of birdlife and also most of the world's songbirds
Yes we are lucky, but we try to manage bird habitat to make sure that we continue to have them into the future.
I am most grateful for their ever present beauty

Very impressive results! A slow lens is not always a bad lens and a fast lens is no guarantee for a great picture..... _________________ My Flickr photostream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chantalrene/

Great show case of a great lens.
What attracted me to this lens is its small size and light weight - 380g and 49mm filter! I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. I took it to a soccer game earlier this year on an A6000:

Thanks everyone.
Yes eno789 you are right about its size - quite small for a 200mm lens.
What surprised me was the smoothness of the bokeh at f5.
Much better than I was expecting.

I haven't visited Australia since 1997,but my memories of Sydney and the area around are very nice and unique.
They say that visiting Australia is changing a man for good.I found it for myself,those are not empty words.At least 5 of my friends came back changed.Two had emigrated and are happy there.
Even my daughter,who spent last holidays (4 weeks) in Sydney-Brisbane-Canberra,travelling with australian friends, told me after coming back,that as soon as she completes her PhD,she seriously considers the post-doc or even settling down.
Well,......what I can say then.Children are arrows released from the parental bow,as some poet used to say one thousand years ago. .What I really dislike is the distance to cover. _________________ shapencolour |

Thank you for the kind words about our lovely country.
The southern states have a heat wave and bushfires at the moment - this is common in the summer months across the country, but the south is always badly affected.
....... and the north is well into the rainy season - or "the wet" as they call it.
We have a very large landmass, and many of our families are widespread.
My own children are well scattered, with only three within driving distance - and two of those a full day's drive - the other two are realistically seen only via air travel
However, like everyone's home, we love it and we welcome all visitors, and are glad to help others who want to come and stay.
We have increased our immigration intake to try to assist in the worldwide refugee crisis, and hope that those who come will like it enough to stay.
Maybe you will come one day to join your family too.
Don't forget your camera - haha
