Birds Bullfinch (with the cheapo 50-230)

[Bill Allsopp]

Yet again the little Fuji comes good.
XC 50-230
iso 4000 f 6.7 - 1/400

I still fancy the 100-400 though!

Bill, I could have written the same post, word for word. Couldn't have captured such a cracking bird pic though!

 

[Lumens]

Yes, a very nice pic, but alas, I also drool for the 100-400.

Please no pictures of you drooling!

Hi Bill

The penny has just dropped I think you are or were a Leica user, I remember your name from the Leica Forum I believe.

 

[Lightmancer]

Bill, good to see you. It is indeed me. I am almost entirely Fuji'd up these days since Leica products were moving further and further away from my ideal camera. I still have my old IID but that's it now. You'll find this a friendly and helpful place - make yourself at home!

 

[Lumens]

You must have the wrong Bill.

I have never owned Leica or been on any of those forums. I am on a lot of Canon Forums and still own too much Canon equipment. It does a great job of collecting dust now that I use my Fuji equipment 99% of the time. I do need to start a large Garage sale so I can afford the 100-400.

OOPs, I got a response on this one so responded back. I just realized there are two Bills in this thread. LOL Sorry, likely the other Bill is the right Bill. Welcome!

 

[Lightmancer]

You are clearly the outstanding Bill... I am the unpaid Bill...

First trip out with 50-230 must say I was not expecting much.

50-230 is a great performer for the money. @KillRamsey has a thread with great tips on using it

Nice shot!
