...bet you have NOT seen this combo !

...I thought not...it's the Sony a65 matched with the Minolta F8 500mm Reflex (Mirror) (750mm FOV)...the Minolta has been around since the previous century and recently dis-continued by Sony in 2010...it probably was in production for over 30 years...but, here is the kicker, it's AUTOFOCUS...yep, AF and a speedy one at that !...even better, this lens has had the popularity of a wart-hog, until it was discontinued by Sony (thank you Sony)...it's now like a painter that has died, and gone whearever, the value has shot waaaaay up...up...and oh yeah, these guys were a long, long way off in the distance

...anyhow, it was a rare overcast afternoon, ISO set to either 400/800/1600 depending on the cloud density, all HANDHELD (750mm FOV)...and yes, oh yes, you CAN count the hairs on a Rhino's ass at 100m
