Paul if you'd like to try out my 600, we should plan on a meet up. While not
a handhold lens it is quite the glass for close up birding.

All hand held, Mark? Looking forward to getting out with my 60-250,
although it's tough to get close enough for shots of small birds. Maybe I
can find another egret or heron. Would love to have David's FA 400. My A
400/5.6 is okay but I'd like to take advantage of the K-3's autofocus
capability.

Thanks! I was about 15 feet from the birds, which is close to the lens's
minimum focusing distance. The flash does not seem to bother them. There
were times when the "whirrrr! clank!" of the cam based AF did send them
flying. AF on the 400mm Tokina tends to be pretty load and it makes a
noticeable clank when it hits the end stop.

Very nice results! Aren't the birds scared by flash? How close could you
get?
