Re: PESO - Spring Rufous

[Mark Cassino]

Nice bird - the background is a bit rough, but to be honest it's not any 
worse that some that I've gotten with the A* 400 f.2.8  If the background 
isn't far enough off to be blurred - it won't be blurred!

The bird itself looks sharp.  Hopefully it will be visiting for a while.

Taken about 45 minutes ago.  Rufous Hummingbird in the willow outside our 
front door, doing watch duty on the food supply.

Pentax *ist D and Tokina 500mm f/8 mirror lens.  Equivalent to 750mm on 
the *ist D.  Handheld between 1/160 and 1/250 second.

I always enjoy this lens.  Background is always a little odd.  Comments 
yay, nay, or otherwise, welcomed.
