It's good to hear that even w/ the SHG 90-250mm/f2.8 that you're as impressed w/ this gimbal head as I am w/ the 150mm/f2 w/ EC-20.

A couple weeks ago I posted the following concerning my purchase of the aforementioned BK-45 gimbal tripod head. For whatever reason the thread got locked up tight - and I don't know how come.

RE: BK-45 Gimbal Head:

A week or so ago while cruising the inter-webs I stumbled across the following at Fred Miranda:

$99 or $500 Gimbal - FM Forums

This is quite a photo of Quito. Were you touring or do you live in Ecuador?

I've been wanting to visit Ecuador for quite a while. Between the Pacific coastline, the high Andes...

This is a wonderful series, and that first shot - it is so expressive.

Well, my 'new to me' SHG 150mm/f2 and EC-20 arrived at my office via FedEx yesterday afternoon (from Cameta Camera). Everything was boxed and wrapped in a massive amount of plastic bubble wrap - no...

Well done, Jim!

According to the EXIF, this shot was taken ~10:32 am @ ISO 400.

ISO 400 (by E-3 standards) is rather high for direct sunlit exposure. I would typically shoot @ ISO 200, which...

This is an awesome series of raptors, etc. - mighty sharp, indeed!

You sound like you're a happy camper w/ KUSO, so I reckon if you're a happy camper then I'll be a happy camper once I download KUSO ( after I get out of the office and back home).

I recently replaced my trusty old laptop (w/ Windows XP) to a new laptop w/ Windows 7.

A couple years ago I downloaded and used "Panda IEXIF2" on my old laptop w/...

Bravo, Godfrey!

This is a splendid (albeit short) series!

I can understand your affection for the 6x6 (square) format; it's like it's our collective 'sweet spot' - after wiping away the...

This is an outstanding capture - period!

It's not just the color; it's the exposure as well - it's not just the colors; it's the exposure as well - from one extreme to the other - color and exposure, like I said before.

I'm with Jim; two thumbs-up for #4! However, I would tweak the contrast down just a wee bit.

Echo That.

How 'bout Hue?

G'Day Michael -

Yeah - you're right; I reckon das Terminator wouldn't git cought dead w/ just a teeny wimpy 150/f2, but, hey, I'll be proud as punch once I git mine in my hot little hands!!!

Thanks, everyone!

And just so you know, I phoned Cameta Monday afternoon and pulled the trigger for an SHG 150mm/f2 (EFL: 300mm/f2) - and and EC-20 for maximum reach (EFL: 600mm/f4). Delivery is...

Lately, I've been looking into upgrading my system (i.e. pulling the trigger on an SHG 150mm/f2 lens). Of course, the MSRP of a new SHG 150mm/f2 is cause for extreme gastric distress, so, I've been...

Gary -

What a wonderful series - some most impressive examples of just how well the E-system and its HG & SHG lenses perform!

I watched the Aggies a couple weeks ago when they played UF (my...

Jim -

That's the same kayak that my cousin's husband recently bought - second hand for only $650 (another example of being in the right place at the right time).

Paul -

I'm really surprised that you haven't received more comments on these photos. These are exceptionally good captures - most impressive stuff!!!

Jim -

This series is a classic example of being in the right place at the right time (and I might add - with the right gear!). From what I've read online wildlife doesn't spook nearly as easily...

Fred -

Nice series, indeed - and quite a statement for the Ghost Blind. I'll have to check into those.

As of late I've been researching kayaks, and it would be nice to have some sort of blind...

Ken -

These are awesome! In checking the EXIF data I noted that the first three images had a focal lenth of 212mm, so I suspect they were shot w/ the 150 + EC 14; images four and five showed a...
