Zoo Photos

[den]

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin took her family to the zoo. These are some of their photos.

I lust after my cousin's husband's digital Nikon and 70-350mm lens.

Dingo. One of Polly's ancestoral line.

Is your avatar, the lens you used to take such pictures?
I have never seen closely a mirrored lens or pictures taken with it, but all the pictures you show seem very good, I can never do something like that with my 70-300mm f5 nikkor.

These photos were taken by my cousin with a 35-200 zoom. The lens in my avatar is my Sigma 600mm mirror lens which I use occasionally.

I heard that mirror lenses are cheap and have fixed aperture, however the quality of the photos taken are much better than many lenses around.
