Attila inspired me with his zoo adventures !
I had a free day (wife and kids away for a day, how often does that happen?) So what does a photo obsessive do ?
These from the SF Zoo today, with heavy San Francisco summer fog, the light wasn't very good.
Soligor (Tamron) 350/5.6 preset. This is a very good lens, a true "wundertute", sharp at 5.6, light, handy, easy to "hit" focus, I have a very high success rate with this - all shots at 5.6
Not spot on, but I got the critter yelling -
I figured he's just like me, he has to have something to read at bedtime -
Through dirty glass -
Soligor (Komine I think) 105/2.8 preset - Its a t-mount, but it does not focus to infinity. Very strange. But it works OK to 50 m/150 feet, more or less.
Good old Super-Takumar 28/3.5

I'm with Poilu!  So many gorgeous shots, my picks are the
tuskless rhino, the peacock in full display, and the last one of flamingos(?)
I forgot, the bear, too!
Thanks for sharing, Luis! (I gotta find this lens!)

Wonderful pictures Luis. You make it look so easy.
That shot of the Malibu Stork reminds me of my old headmistress on a bad hair day
