Did you use a tripod? The shutter speeds seem too slow for a tele handheld, e.g. 1/60 s for 450 mm.

Nope, hand held, and maybe some decent technique, bracing against a wall. Also the Pentax shake reduction works a treat, and despite my reputation I did cull a bunch of photos, though those were mostly focused on the wrong part of the lizard. > > Henk > > Op 2025-06-22 om 03:16 schreef Larry Colen: >> >>> On Jun 21, 2025, at 6:04 PM, Comcast<pnstenquist@comcast.net> wrote: >>> >>> Maybe I’m missing something but how does one determine which is which? >> Under each photo (when looking at them individually, it lists the lenses. >> But, >> 307-317 are 150-450 >> 327-357 are 70-200 >> 372-383 are 100 macro >> >>> Paul >>> >>>> On Jun 21, 2025, at 8:32 PM, Larry Colen<lrc@red4est.com> wrote: >>>> >>>> This isn't how I would have thought I'd do a lens comparison, but the opportunity just sort of presented itself. >>>> >>>> 150-450 70-200/2.8, and 100/2.8 macro AW >>>> >>>> I also took a couple of crops with the longer lenses, for final image comparison. >>>> https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720327014296 >>>> >>>> __ >>>> Larry Colen from Lothlorien >>>> lrc@red4est.com >>>> >>>> >>>> -- >>>> %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List >>>> To unsubscribe send an email topdml-leave@pdml.net >>>> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. >>> -- >>> %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List >>> To unsubscribe send an email topdml-leave@pdml.net >>> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. >>> >> __ >> Larry Colen from Lothlorien >> lrc@red4est.com >> >> >> -- >> %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List >> To unsubscribe send an email topdml-leave@pdml.net >> to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. > -- > %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List > To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-leave@pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. > __ Larry Colen from Lothlorien lrc@red4est.com

If you double click on the first image it goes to Flickr where all is told. Then it is easy to scroll through the whole bunch. The Lizard seems to be casting a skin or perhaps it picked up some cling film? A very patient Lizard too - it sat in the same place for all the shots.
