I think you both need more blue in your birds

Gorgeous but ours were wild catches... no birdfeeder :-)

Full sun with a fast lens vs. shade and a slow lens. My
heart
goes
out to you. :-) :-)

OK, not bad for 800mm f/8, I was at 420mm f/4 but it took
lots
of
patience to get that close without bait. Did ya focus manual?
I
did. :-) and mine is still sharper at full pixel crop and
I'll
bet
I paid less for my old lens & TC pbtbtbt!

With the TC I didn't have a choice but to focus manually. I
would
think that you would indeed win the price war. :-( I would
definitely need a bigger/brighter view finder before I became
enamored with MF all the time with the tele's.

I might have lost the price war if we count my D200 camera body
at
full price when it just came out.

With birding you move or you make the bird move, if you move
you'd
better be unobtrusive or on an island with out predators. :-)

Well I will give you points for finding a more uncommon &
interesting bird.

Sharper indeed - look at the eyes. Pbtfbtbft! :-)

Did you click for the full pixel crop?

Both are obscured by lint. No "sharpness" involved.

Lint! I only launder money, not birds! :-)

Guess I was looking at the wrong navels ...

Don't be ridiculous, money doesn't have a navel. It was minted not
born.

Well, then. What navel should I have been gazing at?

That /is/ nice. I see it's pierced and adorned with a lovely red,
white, and green jewel.

Yes, very nice.
