Nice pelican Fred. One of my lifetime moments was windsurfing across San Francisco bay in formation with a couple of pelicans about 4 yards away.
Curious about the f/8. Are you shooting that for sharpness or dof or both? With my copy of the lens I have softness beyond about 360mm unless I stop down to f/8.

Truth be told, I either bumped the aperture ring accidentally (easy to do for me as they are too loose on my Fuji lenses), or forgot to change it. I often shoot at 5.6 or 6.3 with good results. Here's a couple for example.
Taken at the last Daytona Turkey Run - Largest classic car show and swap meet in the US. 6000+ classic cars for show and sale, massive swap meet and more! At Daytona International Speedway.
