Justin Huffman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #2 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 these are amazingly sharp Phillip. If you ever choose to share your sharpening technique I would certainly bring the popcorn Nov 24, 2008 at 12:01 AM

wfournier Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 Why do you bother? I know the pictures aren't any good because the lens doesn't have VR.... REALLY sharp, where'd you find those critters? Nov 24, 2008 at 12:25 AM

MichaelMann Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 Really nice, Philip. It's a good thing those things weren't moving. For one thing, the first generation 80-200 AF is slooooow. Secondly, you might have been eaten. Really sharp and nice color though. Nov 24, 2008 at 12:36 AM

butchM Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 I just retired my one-touch 80-200 last year ... awesome glass ... and the AF wasn't much of a problem as I was weaned on MF. That's why I loved the one-touch, much easier to focus and zoom. Nice images. Nov 24, 2008 at 12:54 AM

BenV Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #6 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 I call BS, these aren't real! The skin tones are waaaay off! Nov 24, 2008 at 02:58 AM

theSuede Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 I wouldn't have guessed that you're THAT old, Phillip... Those critters must have been extinct since at least before the... uhh.... uhhh.... FM-2 went out of production? Nov 24, 2008 at 06:00 AM

If you ever choose to share your sharpening technique I would certainly bring the popcorn It's no secret I stay away from sharpening in Photoshop. I find that using NX2 is a lot smoother and more natural. That said, I don't use USM in NX2. What I do is I go to the camera settings in NX2 and fiddle with the sharpness in the shooting mode. I have my camera set to Neutral. That is what I find works best. Hope that helps Nov 24, 2008 at 05:02 PM

So far it has worked great for my needs. Nov 24, 2008 at 05:05 PM

phillip ino Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 Thanks for the great comments, everyone! I'm just glad it was overcast yesterday, providing me with the largest natural diffuser Nov 24, 2008 at 05:07 PM

Jake Kenney Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #17 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 I LOVE my 'ancient' push/pull 80-200... these are probably the sharpest pictures I've seen from it. Nov 24, 2008 at 09:02 PM

Jammy Straub Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 Sometimes I wonder why I spent $1800 instead of $350... Threads like this don't help. Nov 24, 2008 at 09:53 PM

I scored this one off of craigslist. Sometimes the best deals can be found on CL. Just gotta sift through all the shady people Nov 24, 2008 at 10:32 PM

Trust me...if I had the extra $$ laying around...I'd have spent $1800 also. I am real fortunate to have found a super duper ultra mega sharp copy . It makes up for the slower AF and lack of VR Nov 24, 2008 at 10:33 PM

w2hef Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #21 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 1 and 2 are awesome... nice piece of glass you got there. man i wish i could take more pictures like you do... you do nice work.... Nov 25, 2008 at 01:39 AM

Elan II Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #22 · My prehistoric push/pull 80-200 Some nice shooting Francis! I like the scale of the 3rd one. I've done some reading on Guy Darrough and his work. Looks like this is a very interesting production. This guy is a serious scientist, not some Hollywood clown. I'm considering making a quick trip to Austin to see these in person. Would you say this is worth the 2-hr drive? Nov 25, 2008 at 03:52 AM

While the exhibit is neat, it is rather small. I think it would be worth it to come to Austin, period. Exhibit or not Nov 25, 2008 at 04:01 PM
