Congratulations and many thanks Joshua for these terrific 3-diemsional life-like shots.
I am hoping that next year Sony will offer a similarly high quality FE 400/2.8 lens.

Thank you, K-H.! That Canon lens is truly a superb performer. I would be really happy if Sony could just match the performance of this lens. But, and a big BUT at that, I am afraid that the price of the Sony lens would be > $12K.... . Based on the aperture of f/2.8, this lens appears to be the best long Canon lens that can be adapted for our Sony camera and works decently. Combined with the A9, the AF performance of this lens is actually not bad at all, I found out after this trip of intensive bird shooting for 3 days.
Nora poses for me to check out the newest member of my lens lineup - Zeiss Distagon 35/2 ZE with MC-11. I loved this lens on Canon and honestly, the lens is not too big for the camera. Some might not like the weight but I love the size and of course, what the lens produces.
First image of a new series of the Jenny Plane which is an exhibit at the SATX Airport. The architecture client designed the support system used to hang the beautiful plane. This is a detail shot showing the support system.
The Jenny Plane is a 1918 biplane in Terminal B at the airport. The Curtiss JN-4D biplane also known as the “Jenny” was used as a military trainer for pilots in the U.S. Air Service during World War I and as a mail-carrying airplane during the 1920s.
Frezeiss, thanks for the kind words! Gorgeous image, Frogfish! And Joshua, wonderful PIFs (poetry in flight) And Bob, and Helena, and Werner, and René, and Jonathon, and Kater, and Chuck, and Rioni, and last, but not least, Fred!
Superb pics, all of you, so inspiring!
