Those are great captures! I just love that lens, it really shines on your camera. I still use it on the old k5 and they don't always come out as sharp as I would like.

Those must have been hard to get, great job!

Yeah, there are times when GAS makes my brain consider trading it in before the SDM goes out on it, but it really is a lens with amazing rendering, and the AF worked well enough.  I was able to open the top of a window and squeeze into a corner so as not to startle the birds, I had like a 6 inch opening to aim through to get the images.  It was fun!
