Loving the improved range on this lens, really love some pictures but not so amazed about others. I think it's all down to me and the autofocus, think I need to use a little manual focus here and there, and get used to the weight difference.

The daylight hours have gone from 7:30am-6:00pm down to 7:00am-4:30pm thanks to the clocks changing so really not much chances for me to take any photos now. Can't go out from 6am-5pm weekdays due to work and weekends will mean have to go out in the mornings due to son's current routine. Bring back summer!

Since nobody's posted anything here in a while, here's an American Goldfinch...

Unfortunately, the sunrise is so late now I miss it on the way home from work. Sure was nice catching it so often. Need to try and get some pics in the afternoon, I've been slacking.

Here's a "small in frame" image from this summer that I don't think I've posted. I really like this style, but I don't do it very often for whatever reason...

Stopped yesterday afternoon on the way to work and grabbed a couple pics. I got the closest I've ever been to a cormorant, in my quest to get a close up of their eye. Unfortunately, I left the teleconverter in the pelican case from the last time I went on the boat. I didn't think to swap to the R7 either, which would have got me around twice the reach. Guess I'm a little rusty, lol. Here is a real heavy, 6mp crop.

Did you ever resolve the "spot" issue? I don't see any in this image...

Unfortunately, I have not. That photo was cropped enough that the spots were out of the frame. Usually, it looks like this.

Fixed, sort of.
