The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.


Psalm 19:1

[Fast Glass]

Mr Fast Glass - which lens did you use?
<div style="CLEAR: both"]</div>

I used a Minolta 600mm f/6.3 bare for the first two and with a 2x extender for the last one.


Yes the squirl picture was taken in light rain. I'll post some more pictures as I get time.


Oh, by the way my real name is John.

[Fast Glass]

The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.


Psalm 19:1

Amen to that!

Thanks for your comment. I saw this lens once on ebay in well used condtion which sold for a $1000. It's a very hard lens to find, from what I have "heard" that Minolta didn't make too many of these lenses. I found this lens on craigslist for $250!!! I got all nine lenses from this older gentleman who was a photo instructer andlife longphotog for $400!!!!!!! All in absolutely mint condition....[]


Here is a 100% crop with sharpening.

LOL who needs a Canon EF 800mm when you have such a sharp lens?


BTW, what kind of adapter you are using to connect it to you (EOS right?) camera?

Actually, all I did was sand the rear end cap to about 1/4" andhot glued it in place!! I will get the mount converted eventually, but until then this works fine.
