That full frame Jeff?

If so no vignetting that I can see, and sharp enough, the bokeh isn't too distracting, easy enough to smooth out any distracting elements anyway.

The vignetting was the biggest issue I had with the various lenses I tried back in 2006-7 or thereabouts. The Nikkor 400, f/3.5 was a good lens and with the TC301 X2 converter was a good, fast 800, but keep coming back to it being not 'my subject' and my lack of real affinity with the birding world, better sticking to plants and flowers, I know where to find them and they don't fly away.

It's full width rob , with about a third off the top , . There is a bit of movement in the beak but I'm well pleased at that shutter speed Han£ held to , don't think even my Panasonic could beat that

But Grahams Kingfisher photo with the fish in it's beak might have been OK? That's nature?

Unless it's some sort of pacifist organisation then that's what you get with nature, they don't have table manners, they lead a life of survival by whatever means they have evolved to use, or die?

Kingfisher with a fish was fine.
