    thx....it's got good IQ but at a cost and that's you have to keep the aperture stopped down and the ss fast and still try to keep the iso low....I had planned on an 80-400 but the bigma popped up on the Nikon Cafe for $600 and I couldn't resist. OS/VR would be nice for the zoo so the 80-400 is still on my list

    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!"

    Nice shots!

    My wife and I were looking through these images together and when we came to the goat she said "Hey, I know that goat!"

    Sure enough, when we checked your profile, you're from Charlotte as well. Since you (really) only have 2 zoo options within a day trip - it's likely we do know that goat!

    Thanks for sharing!
