hi all ... I'm cleaning out my equipment ... I have a Sony 500 reflex
lens for sale ... a few years back I switched to Canon and this Sony
lens has been sitting in the drawer ever since ... it is a good
beginning birding lens and I shot images around Ridgefield NWR ...

here's images from the last trip I took with the lens ... it was a
nice sunny day ...

this lens is an F8 ... it does GREAT on sunny days ... on overcast
days it's a little more challenging, and on rainy days it's poor ...
looking for tweeties in the middle of the woods - I never tried it
... being a beginning birder at that time, by the time I got into
tweeties I was already into the Canon system ...

anyways, here's Amazon's page on the lens ... ignore the used prices
listed as they are way over inflated due to Sony having discontinued
the lens and the available new ones are now gone ... when I last
checked on used prices this winter the used price was more realistic
at $400 ... I will sell for $200 OBO ...

I also have a Sony Alpha 100 camera body FS if anyone wants to make
an offer ... it is in excellent shape but has no battery or battery
charger or cards ... it takes either the Sony cards or CF cards ...
it is 10meg ... if anyone is interested just make an offer ...

it's Amazon page ...
