nice catch, but may be you need to post in Natural Photography forum :sweat: , as you didn't mention anything regarding Minolta. You got thelens brand new or 2nd hand? In Singapore?

I hope yr lens is new and not from a second shop in SG. I tested out one out in a shop before, notice that cleaning was done in, causing the coating of the glass is gone...

Great sequence of what seems like a brahminy kite.

As for raptors in SBWR, there are brahminy kites, white belly sea eagle and honey buzzards flying over often but hard to shoot because they are circling high up or blocked by foliage.
