Not one of our dangerous 4 species but I wasn't game to get too close or set up all the gear so this was handheld MF with direct flash holding the camera upside down. Using the new Tammie. I've worked out how to get the Tammie autofocussing now so I'm happy.

Tammie on my Birthday list - so - what is the issue with Autofocusing??
Excellent shot - flash doesn't ruin it - nice and sharp too.

not the best shot, but my first with my own 14-24. focus spot on, blisteringly fast in af-c mode. reminds me why i will only buy af-s lens' from now on.

Autofocus or manual is set by sliding the focus ring forwards or backwards. It's actually pretty good but caught me by surprise as I just didn't remember (and bought a cheapie with chinese documentation). I like manual for macro anyway so it wasn't a biggie but I was struggling to judge focus on the kiddies running around.

You won't regret buying the lens, it's very sharp and versatile. Here's a differnt shot with it. Blwoing the red channel is my fault not the lenses. My first reason to look at the histogram in three channels instead of combined.

Lukas is growing up Rooz.
