Maximum wide angle of view. Well captured snow texture and distinctive color 24 mm, f/5.6, 1/1600 s, ISO 200 .
Same subject at maximum focus. Even good binoculars from this distance won’t let you see as much detail! 840mm, f/6.3, 1/1250s, ISO 200
Good dynamic range, but brightness ghosting is still noticeable in large brightness gradients. Despite ISO 800, noise level is acceptable 80mm, f/5.6, 1/25s, ISO 800 .
At maximum focus distance and open aperture, you get good detail and beautiful background blur 840mm, f/5.8, 1/250s, ISO 200 .
Macro Shooting. Very good detail in the focus area and good background blur due to the long focal length 436mm, f/5.6, 1/500s, ISO 200 .
A cautious bird that could only be shot at maximum range. The completely black feathers worked very well 840mm, f/6.3, 1/200s, ISO 400 .
Evening, shooting against the light. Great auto white balance, but noticeable chromatic aberration in contrasts 24mm, f/6.3, 1/640s, ISO 160 .
