At first I thought, "I should probably explain that he's referring to

Thanks Bill. It holds up well at 100%. . I don't have a 300 in 35mm format, so

I put a 100% section up on that page for you. The 300 looks pretty decent 
considering everything that was against it. I didn't use a tripod, so that 
is a heck of a lot of lens to hand hold.
I might see how it stacks up against the FA*300/4.5 one day for laughs.
Cesar has my 165, so I can't test that lens out. I think the only lenses I

They look like quarter horses to me. Most western horses are quarter,
at least in the show ring.

I like way you've caught the sheen and beautiful colour of the horses.
Are they some sort of cowboy horse? They look different to the horses
people ride over here. The picture has a nice relaxed atmosphere.

She who must be obeyed and I went for a drive to visit Bella's breeder 
today. She has 6 very busy little Belgian puppies, a couple of not so busy 
puppies, and a couple of very complacent little puppies.
Ten little Belgian puppies all in the same room are quite cute, and then we 
went outside.
I wanted to take a couple of telephoto pictures, so I opened my big 
Lowe-Pro, only to discover that I had brought the wrong one, and had my 6x7 
kit instead.

So, this picture was taken on the K10 with the 6x7 300mm f/4.
