useph Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 As you may know from my thread on "non carp banter", Ive gone and bought myself a new lens. Went for a walk with my misses with my camera. Location was her choice...... happened to be my regular fishing lake, how thoughtful. As it is a zoom lens i assumed it wouldn't focus on close range objects. However, standing no more than 4ft from these creatures, fully zoomed in i was surprised it would focus. After many attempts at getting the focus right on manual mode without them clearing off, I managed to get a few good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
