My biggest hobby is sleeping.

That is a Godd Hobby.

BTW acer, a fixed aperture lens will definately be bulkier. I think Sigma has it. Go look through the internet and I believe you can find what you are looking for.

I'm going to get the new Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens. Although at it's lowest focal length it's not even close to a wide angle, the VR II technology sure sounds interesting to me and I've heard that I helps a lot at 200mm with a small f stop. Thanks for the suggestion though!

go to fredmiranda.net and read up before forking out any money...

The website domain is currently for sale. Don't worry I know what I'm getting, I'm really into bird/bee photography at the moment, that's why I'm all about that 2.8 f stop. The lens is probably going to be just as good in sports photography with the 2.8 f stop, ED glass, and best of them VRII.

For birding or beeing, in my opinion, the 200mm may not be long enough. Maybe a 300mm or even 500mm will do the trick. Unless you are using an extension ring or a magnifier for the 200mm lens, maybe it should be long enough to have a good glimpse of your bird/bee.

Yes I will be defiantly be using a tele-converter of at-least 2x magnification. That way I would get a 400mm which IMO is good enough

i'm sorry, it's fredmiranda.com not fredmiranda.net
acer... using converter will degrade the IQ of the photo...
go to the website and read up/ask about...

[acer800]

Wow that a very interesting website! Thanks for the share. I've only been using photocamel as a reference lately but this will surely help as well. Yes I know it will degrade my photo quality but I just simply don't have that extra amount of cash to buy a 400mm/500mm 2.8 lens. Those cost a fortune for me because I'm still not a adult (remember? =)). I will also be using this lens for other purposes too so it's ok. Thanks for the input though

well... if you stay on the forum/website long enough you might find out about other alternatives which will fit you better... but anyway... good luck...

Besides a TT Junkie, Im also a fishing junkie! But not as agrresive as before, after getting married well priorty change you know what I mean. I still fish on the weekends very early in the morning about 25 min where i live. I enjoy the morning air near the pond where the mountain water flows in where you hear birds singing and just you with mother nature. Its very relaxing & challenging as you need a special technique to catch the fishes here. I only come when I feel like having fresh fish for dinner but the best part is after the fishing session?

at about 11 to 12 pm I will leave the spot and go to a nearby location for a dip! Its a Waterfall with freezing cold water to cool everything down after a hot fishing session with lunch of course. The waterfall acts as a messager when you park you self below rushing water. It is a wonderful feeling and I just love it.

If you wish to experience this? you know what to do! No radio just a great attitude needed.
