Colchester Zoo

Went to Colchester Zoo yesterday for a test run of my latest lens purchase(second hand 70-200L from aserota on here) & super impressed with how sharp it is. I know they have a good rep but I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. I also decided that I was going to give my 7D a run as I haven't used it much since I got it & it would be an easier combination than lugging the 100-400 about.

As we were looking at the lions the sun decided to briefly pop out
1/800th at f/4, iso400.

He is a very handsome boy isn't he - looks like that lens is going to be a winner.

Picked up a 2nd hand 70-200 myself,,haven't had chance to use yet so nice to see how good yours performs

Very nice
And those 70-200's really are hard to beat for a zoo lens

Wonderful shot eyes are lit up nicely
I've got the 70-200 as well its a great lens I prefer it to my 100-400
