Hey Guys,
Bought the 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS lens this weekend, got an opportunity to test it out in the wetlands.
Tons of pics here - http://iridealone.blogspot.com/2010/01/taking-new-lens-for-ride.html
Some of them that turned out pretty ok (for teasers  )
This highlight for me had to be this little winged beauty
Cheers, |

Thanks Chinkz, Frank n Sriram.
Frank,
ROFL man! Love clicking 
Sriram,
I "can" use this lens for fishy shots too. I will need alternate source(s) of light to use this I think. Working on something 
Cheers, |

i think he can, all he has to do is add some more lighting to the tank and stand a little far off and take a snap |

Thanks Deba, too bad I own a Canon
@Anand,
This lens has more elements and would need more "light" to take decent pictures. The in-built flash would be subdued with the long lens. Hence thinking of off-camera flashes.
Vyas,
Thanks but no thanks
@Kshitij,
Good always gets more progressively further, contentment lasts for a little time only 
Thanks Raghu, Jib!
Cheers, |

Hyath,
Saying anything about the superb quality of pictures you take is like asking If pope is a catholic!!
Once in a life time offer - You want to exchange your Cannon 450D with my Nikon L11??!!
Cheers
