Love birds' favourite position?

Taken using my 10D with a Polaris Auto Zoom 80-200mm f3.5. This is an old Japanese manual-focus Pentax-mount (M42) telephoto that belonged to my Dad. It's attached using an EOS-to-M42 lens mount adapter. It's all manual, so the focus is only as good as my eyesight.

Handheld.

Mom and Hallie at Westmonte Park, on one of the first cool and windy days of the fall/winter. Most of the fall so far has been 80F+!

Doing half of the fallboard at a time--should be neat to see the contrast between the original wood and the paint job.

This picture is meant to compare the behaviour of my different lenses at the very same focal lengths.

It can be helpfull for a-mount user who hesitate between mutliple lens of same focal length.

Shoots are done with tripod + remote.

Focus is manually made on the left eye of Bob the Sponge,

OR

AF is made via choosing the central focus point on the left eye of Bob the sponge.

Enjoy the comparisons ;)
