The images look great to me Johnathan. You can really draw in tight on the wildlife. And the distant sunset and moon shots you'll get will be incredible. I'm still trying to pull the trigger on buying the Canon 50-250 IS for my camera, this might just push me over the edge.

Looks like a goodun Jonathan, enjoy using it. Richard, for the money the 55-250 is a cracking little lens.

Nice job on getting the new 70-300mm lens Jonathan. Everything looks great. I like the way you shot the same scene at several different focal lengths which is very helpful. Nice bird shots!!. Good luck with the new lens.
