Momma fox, and her more adventurous pup. Taken out back of the workplace several years ago. Wish I'd had the longer lens and higher res camera back then. This session would have been 'poster quality', but the subjects are still delightful!

Thank you! I took this with an older Olympus 2100UZ Ultra-zoom. The shot was taken at full (X10) optical zoom, then significantly cropped to get rid of all the field around the pair.
A bit of enhancement in Paint Shop Pro (sharpening, color correction, etc) was done during post-processing.

I'm currently using a Sigma SD10. My favorite lens, and the one used to take most of the more recents shots in my gallery, is a Sigma 50-500 Tele-zoom. When combined with this camera back, I end up with a 1.7X multiplication factor, which ends up making max zoom about 850mm equivilent.
If the lens didn't wasn't as big as, and weigh more, than some of the smaller furs on this board (*grins*), it would be the only thing I carried. Well, not completely true - I'd still use the 20-55mm wide angle zoom for a lot of close up and indoor work.

The camera used for the foxes and some of these birds was my older Olympus 2100UZ. The one used on the Lynx, , the lion, and the most recent birds, is the new Sigma SD10. The Olympus has a built in lens, and the Sigma uses changable lenses.
I've got no complaints with any of the Sigma lenses I've got. Because I'm using a Sigma camera-back, I have to use Sigma lenses (it has a unique lens attachment, and none of the other manufacturers support that style).
All these are "smart" lenses as well, and keep the entire camera system informed of the lens condition and capability. The EXIF information can tell me exactly what the focus, zoom, apperture, and everything else associated with the lens was set to, for each photo.
That's really nice to know afterward, and it really helps when linking camera settings and flash settings with the lens condition during "automated photography" settings.
