Wow, shot with a Mark II... then I'll definitely write about the shortcomings that immediately caught my eye.
- the sharpness is so overblown, it looks like it was shot with a point-and-shoot camera.
- the hazy gradient at the top of the frame looks artificial.
Now correct me. I see a deer, but the antlers are a moose. %) So who is this?

Sergey, Are you playing around?

By the way, the sharpness doesn't seem to bother me here... Or maybe I've gotten used to it.

People are so lucky! Our deer don't let you get that close.

Sergey, the deer and elk look fine... but the grass with last year's leaves... Honestly, I don't understand how such optics can produce such a thing. My phone takes photos of this quality perfectly.

Sergey, 400 mm isn't close ;) By the way, maybe that's why the quality has gone downhill. If it was shot handheld, it's brilliant.

8ele8, For our 400mm, that's not enough. They're very skittish.

Great!!!
