Stellers Jay - the back side
As recently promised in comments, the backside of the stellers jay.
I’ve been playing with a new lens, canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM. We’ve had frigid temperatures, but I got a few stellers jays to come out and play. The lens is working well so far and I’m hoping for a chance to use it a bit more this week. The zoom is operated push, pull instead of twist. I have to get used to that. I love the full time manual focus; you can use the auto focus first and then fine tune manually without turning off the auto focus. I have one other lens that has full time manual focus and wish they were all FTM.

More to come with this lens… I’m hoping for some big furry mammals to wander by, deer, elk, or a bear at a distance.
Big furry mammals, little furry mammals … any excuse to play with new toys.
I have one lens that zooms in and out with a push-pull mechanism, too. I find it is a bit stiff and awkward at times, but works well enough if you aren’t changing too much too often.
right, wren, any excuse…
