I mainly use a Nikon 200 f/2 VR II or a Zeiss 100 f2 Makro Planar. Camera is a Nikon D800E or Nikon D3. Wouldn't mind a Nikon 400 f/2.8 but they're about $14,000 and I wouldn't get enough use out of it nowadays.Quote:

Nice kit! :thumbsup:
Most of my mine are from a D80 with 80-200 f/2.8 D, 18-70 kit lens and 50mm f/1.8 (which is reversed for macro). But just upgraded to a D7000 last week and loving it! The 400mm isn't super fancy, its a Tokina ATX f/5.6. Quite impressed with it so far though, especially for $110!

Photographed in our garden amongst approx thirty other tui,feeding on Prunus campanulata late August 2013. The colouration is known as Luesistic, occurring in one in 10,000 birds. Two others were photographed around Hamilton during the same period, all with varying degrees of pale colouration
Good one teFerrari I tried once or twice on here explaining about the colour (luesistic) of a pukekoQuote:

That there looks a tad steep Josh :wtfsmilie:
My dog and I were sitting on an old logging skid site one evening glassing some clearings and some keas joined us. One of them hopped along the same log the dog was on and she started looking at me really nervous so I told her to stay there, the kea bounced along slowly and when the dog looked around at me it bit onto her foot. Jesus did the poor dog scream.:D
Keas are bastards as well though.
Yip saw a documentary on the buggers the other day. "They are pretty but cunts":DQuote:
