Just shot the attached photo from my deck, handheld, everything in auto... The distance is a lasered 189 yards to the sign. There is no support of any kind, just standing on my two hind legs and shooting.
The lens is an Image Stablized Canon 100-400 L series.
This is just a small section cropped out to get it under the size limit, but edge to edge looks great! art

Joel Cool! The Rott's coat is going a little flat... I think he needs more oil in his diet... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> art

Cool Art, does this mean you will be able to take pictures of pointer and me while we are stalking deer? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
RickyD Funny you should ask that particular question... Have been fighting with the city to get another stop put in a little closer to home... I am sensitive enough to the issue that I ALWAYS stop at that one... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Lookin' good. Too bad you didn't have that camera a year ago & you could have documented that cougar sighting by Mr. Rick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Fish The camera is the new Canon 20D... SLR, 8.3MP, will brush your teeth for you if you program it right... The lens for this shot was the IS 100-400. While it was ridiculously expensive, it will soon pay for itself between film and developing savings and the file storage...
I got the body at B&H for 1785, including the battery grip. The lens was 1410 all by itself and the wife's Rebel XT, assorted lenses and cards, filters and such came to over 6k total... It seems like a tremendous sum, but adding up what I have spent in film cameras it is close... art

Quit picking on Mr Rick! He had evil influences when he saw that herd of cougars! He could have picked most anything, but at least we knew he was alive and his eyes still worked! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> art

Art, Nice!! i just ordered a 70-300 for mine. Should have sprung for the IS. Oh well, think i can make due for a while<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> This digital thing amazes me every day. Paul
When Sitka deer, newly annointed moderater and highly experienced Alaskan guide, entitles a post "Unreal!!!!!! Digital Test Shot..." I expect to see MORE than a picture of a FRICKIN' stop sign.......................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I expect to see a big bear, a moose, a caribou, an elk, or even a pretty girl, but NOT a STOP SIGN!!!!!
Paul In speaking to the photography gurus, I have asked about that lens a couple times and they have all said it is pretty compromised, especially on the short end of things??? art
