I am gonna guess the 200 because of DOF. Do your Finnish squirrels smoke a lot? Over here, it is the crows that do most of the animal smoking ... Very Happy

They used to smoke, but I demanded them to quit the deadly addiction in order to get peanuts.

Since no one else wants to play the guessing game, I guess I'll have to tell you that your guess was very wrong Wink

WOW, 35mm!

You must have been bribing the little guy with smokes or peanuts to get that close.

In some Helsinki parks the squirrels literally climb all over you; the major difficulty in photographing such tame individuals isn't getting close, but managing to focus before they scamper on. =)

Edit: That's not to say the photo isn't impressive. It is—I've never had such success with manual focus on squirrels. They are one of the few subjects that make me reach for an AF lens.
