Just got back from shooting lions in deepest, darkest Kent and I really do mean “deepest” and “darkest” owing to the weather. It threw it down with rain all day, resulting in a very overcast, dull and dreary day, some very deep puddles and lots and lots of mud.
Got some great shots though 🙂
I also had a chance to play around with the EF400mm f4 DO IS USM lens. Thats a bit of a mouthful to describe a great lens. The DO bit means that the lens is shorter and lighter, and together with the IS bit means that I was able to hand hold it at speeds as low as 1/100th and still get a sharp image. The image quality looks fantastic so far and when I’ve had a chance to drag them through Lightroom and CS3 I’llpost some images.
To sum up, this is a fantastic piece of kit and I was thrilled to have it to play with for an hour or so this afternoon. I don’t think it will be on my shopping list yet though. At over £5,600 it carries a hefty price tag.
Full details on this lens cn be found here.
