Re: PESO - Spring Rufous

Very nice. Background is better than what I'd expect from a mirror 
lens, and the shot looks quite sharp in the web image. Good look at a 
beautiful bird.

Yea.
Both  are good captures that need no excuses for the mirror lens.
What ISO was used?

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.
