[Leica] New 300mm Lens

[Aram Langhans]

I have finally gotten out to shoot something other than the hillside by 
my house to try out my new Nikon 300/4 PF lens.  I have a lot to learn.  
I have never shot with anything over 200 and then rarely so.  I shot 60 
shots with maybe 5 with the focus being nailed on what I wanted.  
Admittedly they are all up very close with a very shallow DOF and all 
hand held, so any small waver will through the focus plane off, but they 
were almost all off in the same way.  I did not think you had to fine 
tune the focus on a mirrorless camera, but maybe I do.

Anyway, here are some shots of an 8 Spotted Skimmer by a pond.

And a Spreadwing Damselfly, not sure which one.

All are cropped about 50%.  I have ordered a 1.4x Converter that is due 
next week.

Comments welcome
