The site should be fixed. We show secure now, we should have a favicon and the picture aspect should be better.

I got my new Nikon 200-500mm lens today. The thing is huge, weighs in at 5#. Looks like the weather is clearing so hope to get out with it later today.

That is some serious glass!

That's not a Beast. It's a Hubble! What a lens. Congratulations.

Re: The Beast
Looks nice, but I thought you may be talking about Hilliary Clinton for a minute.
But I know, no politics, lol.

Self moderation. You are a true gentleman.Cowboy Gun Fan wrote:Looks nice, but I thought you may be talking about Hilliary Clinton for a minute.

That is a great lens. I'm looking forward to seeing your results.
I remember seeing the difference clearly when I ponied up for my first and only piece of Canon "l" glass.
Congratulations and let the photographs flow.

I took a few quick test shots out on the patio. Hand held 1/800 sec @ f7. It's a keeper.

Re: The Beast
Can that be, CT_Shooter?!? A rival for shooting a Henry? 
Yes, I guess it could ---- coming from a photographer!
Beautiful pictures, Whaler --- and after you finish with "test shots," the polished production photos should be magnificent!

Re: The Beast
That is a beast, you better eat your Wheaties before lugging it around for the day.
Incredibly sharp on those test shots.
I could have used one on my last cruise in Alaska. The longest I had was an 18-270 and had a Grizzly about 3/4 mile away on the shore. You can tell it was a big bear but far away.
