Visiting an old friend!  My workshop partner Jim Begley has always preferred the pro grade Nikons, the D3s, and D4.  He also borrowed my brand new consignment lens the 28-300 ( a long time ago ), and I never saw it again, now I know why!!!!  This is a big, heavy, but very versatile combination!  It isn’t a hiker’s combo unless you are a 30 year younger Schwartnagger!    It focuses very close, and is wonderful for machine gunning HDR images!  Now I’m not suggesting this secret weapon is why Jim shoots such gorgeous stuff, nope, but it hasn’t hurt him either.  I received one as a going away gift from Nikon and you can bet it will always be in my field kit!  The fact that it was arranged by my dear friend Bill Pekala, means even more!

 

 

It’s good to meet old friends, again!!!!

 

Blessings,
