Great shots, wonderful colours Dawn. I really like the little monkey balancing on the tree, and my fave are the Orangutan pics, as they are my fave primate. I could honestly watch them all day, they fascinate me.

Thanks folks.

Given they are hand held and at full length or there abouts, I cant complain.

Re: Chester Zoo. First time with the new lens.

How are you finding it with IS/VR Dawn? Do you get many blurry shots? What % do you think are ok?

Azz

That particular lens doesn't have image stablisation to save Dawn answering, But for myself the number of "saver " pictures has got up 80% having got the same lens but the Nikon version.



Tricky lighting conditions but the lens could cope, no flash or editing . I have tried similar shots at another zoo and to be honest they came out terrible with another lens
