The pelicans returned to La Jolla en masse on Tuesday morning after an unexpected two-day lull. I enjoyed Day 4 with the SONY gear and continue to learn more each day. Patrick Sparkman has been working hard on fine-tuning the best settings for SONY A9 bird photography. In addition, with more help from Patrick and Arash’s Capture 1 e-guide, I have started doing some conversions in Capture 1. Arash’s guide will be available in the BAA Online Store in a few days. And the best news? Patrick Sparkman and I will be collaborating on a SONY A9\/100-400 GM OSS e-Guide for bird photographers that will include practical Capture 1 tips as well. It should be available in four to six weeks, perhaps sooner. <\/p>\n

This is the lens that hooked me on Nikon and its great AF system. It is sharp and versatile and though AF is a bit sluggish away from the center AF point with a teleconverter, I made some great images with the TC-E14. This lens sells new right now for $1,396.95 with only the crappy original tripod collar … <\/em>artie<\/p>\n
