Went to the zoo again and got a couple shots I thought were decent.

First two taken with my new 200 f/2.8, last two with the 400 f/5.6

I guess even the big cats like eating grass

I still like the wolves there, I just wish they would be more active.

And finally some baby geese that were hanging out with the warthogs.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Harry and Saurora.

    Harry I love Primes. After getting the tele Primes I now hate using my zooms for other shots. Zooms have their uses but if the oportunity permits I always try to use a Prime. It sure makes my bag heavy though. I may need one of your carts pretty soon lol3.gif .

    Saurora I am likeing the 200 so far. It definitely doesn't attract the attention of my white lenses. It is quite sharp and focuses nice and quickly.
