Thanks David, I've only just started using this lens for this type of shot. I didn't realise it would give such good results. It really is a cracking piece of kit. Cheers, Jim

Lovely image, Jim.
Is this a crop or with a/some tubes?

Agree re the 55-300, excellent lens for the price.

Hi Roger, it's quite a heavy crop, no tubes etc

Excellent quality image for a crop. That 55-300 is a great lens isn't it?!

Super, I love the colour of banding in the background. I would never have guessed this was taken with a 55-300 - great result.
