3. Probably an F3 at the time.

I just sent the F2 out for its regular 50 year tune-up.

Turning from Cardinals to Hawks (smooth transition), these were taken this week, with a Nikon Coolpix, code name "Hubble" for the extreme zoom. 2000 and 750mm effective focal length. I kicked up the gain to 400 to get shutter speed, so they are a tad grainy with the small sensor and cropping. Can't argue because the entire camera costs less than a telephoto in that range (if they exist).

As I posted on your other thread, my daughter has a new Olympus underwater camera and I'm looking forward to her photos.






Got any hawks at the new place? If so, KC beware.
