First ok birding shots with manual lens (Hoya 75-205mm f4 macro lens)

[rhino123]

I have been trying out the Hoya 75-205mm lens for birding with my OM-D for a while now... none of them really came close to being okay. Today I fixed the lens to my trusty old 7D... and is happy with the result (I have pretty low standard though). Of course my shots are no where near bro oldtimer.

Nice shots of the sunbird with this lens rhino!

Kinda like the soft effect it produces.

thanks for sharing these challenging shots ...not easy to focus manually with long lens on small active bird like the sunbirds.
