Yes, yes I know, the X100 is not the premium choice of photo equipment for the zoo. However, I was treated to a surprise for my birthday. I was told the morning before, and moments before we were to board - with two hours to pack and get to the airport - that we were going to Melbourne to celebrate. So, being a city, and me usually photographing cows and sunsets I knew the X100 must be packed. Then the next day when I woke up in the city, on my big day, I was given another surprise....we were going to the zoo....and when we got there that I was booked in to meet the orangutans. I cannot express in words how excited I was....and still am. If there is one thing I love most in the world - after my life partner of course - and that is our more peaceful and intelligent orange cousins. I shan't rant but nothing makes me well up or get's me angrier than knowing that our selfish idiotic ways are compromising, not only the quality of life but the very survival of these magnificent beings.
T'was a great day. Actually a highlight of my life....and although I might have chosen something with a little more reach, the X100 was an excellent companion.
I'll add a few more photos to this thread once they're processed. But here's the first I played with having just gotten back...
