EOS M3 + EF-M 55-200mm in the Zoo
10

Last weekend went to Blijdorp Rotterdam Zoo here in the Netherlands to do some shooting with the EOS M3 and EF-M 55-200mm. First time shooting with the EOS M3 and liked it. Not everything is good but had some good results.

Next-time I'm gone do a round with the M3 + Adapter + EF 70-300mm L to see what this combination does.

55-200 looks sharp

Thanks.

I like the M3, nice and small also with the 55-200mm attached. Sometimes a challenge to get the focus you want. Especially when using longer lenses and close focus distance.

Yeah the 55-200mm is quite sharp. Al dough it's sometimes hard to get the correct focus when there is some shallow DOF. The focus box on the M3 is large and tends to focus on something that is in front of the thing you want in focus. For example you want to focus on the eye, the focus can be on the cheek or eyebrow.
