I focused on the bird. The difference might be that the bird is moving
and the seed is stationary :-).

The seed in the feeder looks nice and sharp, the bird seems a bit soft.
Not much DOF with that combination at ~f11. Nice capture though,

No, the A2X-S, like the A2X-L has only the A contacts. Mine has a
damaged lock pin. The spring has evidently become unattached, so it
won't lock on the lens. It still works fine as long as I make sure the
lens is all the way engaged. But I almost dropped my A400 yesterday,

Yes, it's a little grainy. I misspoke below. It was actually ISO 800
and cropped. The feeder this shaded by a tree. Not a lot of light. I
needed 800 just to get 1/90th shutter. Since I'm using the A2XS

feeder at the same time.

A friend gave me a goldfinch feeder and a bag of thistle seed. The
feeder requires the birds to eat hanging upside down. Apparently,
goldfinches are among the few species that can do this. After a few
weeks, I now have a flock of goldfinches that visits on a regular
basis. They're very small an
