No help from me with that. Not selling. In fact, I am going to be buried with mine...
Pius, sorry bud, if you want the best, you are going to have to buy a new one. Or you could settle for a low resolution R3, and get close enough not to have to crop.
Molson had his for sale up until this morning but looks like he may have had second thoughts or its already on its way to Pius

Some edits of flying squirrels back in July, was shooting more backlit for some variation. I think the rim light shots like the 2nd works better from the side showing the squirrel in profile, I'll post some later.
Non wildlife photos. These are from a trip to the White Mountain National Forest in NH (only about 2 hours from my house). Obviously the A1 was overkill for something like this but it who cares . These are taken with either the Tamron 28-200 or Sigma 14-24.
The waterfall photo was actually about 8 photos merged together. When we got there it was raining and I didn't want to change lenses, the sky broke for a few minutes and got those with the 28-200.
Swallows and their hangers on: the fall migration is almost upon us, at least so far as the swallows are concerned. A plethora of birds that attract hangers on, including a juvenile PF on a low fast pass...

Cool, where in MA were you for these? At Parker River they are in full force as well.
Here are some more shots from the trip. All-in-all I was very happy with the A1 and 28-200 as it makes a fairly lightweight hiking kit. Not quite as light as my Pany GX9 and 14-140 and obviously a lot more capable

Nice shot. Am I right in guessing that the left hand side of the train is soft due to image rotation (up or downwards motion of target vs sensor) rather than DOF limits and the front is sharp as it is the center of rotation?

Thank you. Some correlation of slow shutter speed, rate of motion for both the subject and me as I was handholding the camera while panning at about 50mm FL and my proximity to the subject. Yes, the motion of the pan was from top left ( coming down) to bottom right. Even at 1/200-500 I was able to see much more DoF, but little motion blur with this FL.
Outstanding. Geoff has taught you well (hey, just teasing! we all know you taught Geoff !!).
Maybe you taught each other....me, being politically correct.
I had never seen pictures of hummers going for sunflowers until few weeks ago. I got a few sunflowers in bloom amongst my bee balms, cardinal flowers and salvia this year, only saw goldfinches going at the sunflowers.

I see these young hummers (at least I think this is a young one) try to go to anything and everything....not sure if the sunflower is productive for them but this guy did stay around it for a couple trips around the flower so I guess they are getting some nectar from it.
