An Anna?s Hummingbird approaches a favorite nectar source:

Sony A7Rii with 180mm Leitz f4 R lens, Leica 2X APO teleconverter, tripod 
mounted.

It?s a bit soft, not a lot of focus room with these long lenses and birdies 
that flit around like crazy. But I?m reasonably happy with it.

I shot today with the A7Rii. It?s much easier to use hand-held than the Fuji 
because the image stabilization with the Leica lenses works pretty nicely. 
This was tripod mounted, however.

Thanks for looking. Thoughts/recommendations/critique are most welcome.

Oh - Steve Barbour made a suggestion either here or somewhere else about 
setup for manual focus. I tried it and I second his idea.
