ZD70-300でシジュウカラ

Parus minor

英名
Japanese Tit
Oriental Tit

　毛を逆立てて，毛繕い中。


　1.4倍テレコンとの組み合わせは，以前のダメダメさがウソのように改善され，使えるようになった。

　ただし，昨日，今日の画像は，コントラストが強い，弱逆光と順光という条件下。

　AFが迷う，迷い続けて定まらないということはしばしばあり，歩留まりは相変わらず良くない。

Parus varius

英名
Varied tit

　目の前にとまったのを AF+MFで撮っている。

　以前に比べ，MFの感触は良くなったし，AFの迷いがやや改善したかもしれない。

　しかし，もちろん ZD50-200には遠く及ばない。

I'll dry my eyes for tonight
No more tears, no more sorrow
But I'll cry again tomorrow night
Because I need you so

These tears I cried for you
Are tears of loneliness
On bended knees I come to you
Because I need you so

Why must we break up?
Why can't we make up?
My heart
My heart is still on fire

Just lately I found
You don't want me 'round
And I still need your love

And I'll dry my eyes for tonight
No more tears, no more sorrow
But I'll cry again tomorrow night
Because I need you so

　ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 70-300mm F4-5.6」の最新ファームウェアが公開された。

　「MF操作時におけるフォーカス追従性の改善」という更新内容。

　ZD50-200を導入して１年余り，ZD70-300をほとんど使わなかったのはMFの操作感が全くお粗末だったからで，それが改善されれば使う機会はあるだろうと思う。

　今日はどんよりした天気で，ろくにテストが出来なかった。

So hard to answer future's riddle
When ahead is seeming so far behind
So hard to laugh a child-like giggle
When the tears start to torture my mind
So hard to shed the life of before
To let my soul automatically soar

But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Sew up the wounds of evolution
And the now starts to get in my way
So what if life's a revelation
If the mind speaks of only today
So real, the pain growing in my soul
Of climbing up to reality's goal

But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Long promised road
Trail starts at dawn
Carries on to the season's ending
Long promised road
Flows to the source, gentle force, never ending, never ending

So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre
When the weight turns a smile to a frown
So hard to drink of passion nectar
When the taste of life's holding me down
So hard to plant the seed of reform
To set my sights on defeating the storm

So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah
Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
