Thanks for viewing/comments! ... just another hummingbird shot but it's

done with the 200mm F2 lens that I had borrowed from Canon CPS service.

The shortest telephoto lens that I've ever used to shoot HB.

Nice details and just enough blur of the wing tips to show the movement!

 

Regards always,

Thanks Phil!

 

Thanks James! I also found that this 200mm F2 is a very good lens to shoot Hummingbird since the focusing distance is relatively shorter (compares to the 500mm F4 that I normally used). One of the thing that I used to have to do is to use an extension tube with the 500mm so that I can get closer and increase the image size but that also make it much more difficult to find the bird (too closed up) and it's hard to maneuver the 500mm compares to the 200mm F2 - Cost is about the same for both lens and a 2X TC will make the 200mm F2 becomes a 400mm F4 - Just a thought! :-). However, a 70-200mm F2.8 may be a better choice also since it costs less, I think.

 

Thanks Desh!
