Ok, i have been away from the thread for awhile. Everything looked great guys!

So I recently bought what i call "grandad" - It is a 1980 Nikon 300mm F4.5 IF-ED Prime! I also picked up the matching 1980 x2 nikon teleconverter TC-301 for fun.

I took it with me to the zoo today to see how this old lens fared. I realize my framing is mostly centered. But it was a busy day at the zoo, so i had to take what i could get.

Here are the images from Grandad 300!

Criticism is welcome

And for those that want to see my recent macro work check out this vid. But warning its abit morbid.. as it starts out with a macro video of a mosquito drinking blood. And... well.... Splat... Macro slide show just after the mosquito grossness.
