The Belmore Pigeons at 400mm

I think we sold a couple more 80-400mm VRs today, but just in case there's any doubt about the quality of this lens - this shot is pretty much straight out of the camera with no sharpening...

For those of you who have not attended one of Birdy's mini-meets - these are the resident pigeons that act as unpaid models every Saturday morning...

Great details in the feathers.

Judging by the pose though I reckon those birds have been staked to the roof :)

I was looking at a couple of shots I took with the 400mm today, and I must say... If I don't get my bonus soon so i can buy one, I think i'm going to explode.

The sharpness of these shots is incredible. If only I wasn't saving for a deposit on a house...hehe :)
