Great CIF's Ron, do all other brands have CIF capability?
 
Fantastic! Always great to see the new Hummer shots Ron.

Only ever seen Hummers a couple of times when I've been on trips to the US and never had a long enough lens to photograph them. Oh well, next trip I'll be more prepared.

For what it's worth: I have done CIF of the hummers with 16mm fisheye lenses all the say up to 600mm f5.6 lens.

BTW Ian, I posted a couple of Rufous Hummers at http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/54010564

Yup, Top marks, beautiful series of an equally stunning subject.
 
Nicely done Ron.

Here the Black-chinned compete with the Rufous for supremacy. The Rufous usually win.

Hi Dean,

Nikon also has CIF capability, though the way you set up the camera is different.

It's a bit clunky compared to the way Pentax does it, but it works.

Very nice.
 
Sounds like a familiar pattern. The black-chinned will harass the Annas a bit, though not too much. That all stops once the Rufous come around. The main thing the Annas have going for them is numbers.

The Rufous just started coming around about a week ago. The couple of males have already dominated the feeders. The Black-chins have to be really sneaky now to get any juice.
