Hi Tony,

really nice shots ... thanks for sharing!

If I did not know, I would naver have thought that they all are done with "NON SIGMA SA) lenses. The image quality seems very good indeed.

Just have another look here ....

These shots have a green tint for my opinion. Just correct the white balance??!

See you with nice pictures

Hallo Tony

I am a Nikon User but have a SD14 and one macro, yesterday i did order one more SA lens, but i would be interested still how to use the Nikkors on SD14.

Do you reach infinity with focus?

Do you use a adapter or did you modify the SA mouth?

would you mind to share your findings?


regards

Joaquin

Awesome pics Tony,
I agree with Klaus about the green tint on the first ones of the geese.
I love the birds in the surf series. The cargo ships are great too. It looks like there's still some debris from the hurricane that hit there a while back (Ike I think).

How did you attain focus with your MF lenses? Did you leave the "beep" on to tell you when it was in focus? Change the screen?

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tony,

Nice shots! I like the geese, and its 3 for 3 on the greenish ,,,,, I did see it in the neck most pronounced.

As for the shorebirds, excellent!! I love those shorebirds and the challenge of shooting them.. You did great and I look forward to seeing many more!! (hint)

That is awesome to catch that big beak in flight and using manual focus. :z02_respekt:

I use the green focus confirmation light in the bottom of the view finder; is the confirmation light the item you use? or can you actually see what you are focusing on?

good luck birding,

Robert
