Thanks rpt, Don and lion rock!

How do you like the 55-200 mm lens?
I find that I have a lot of vignette with mine together with the original M. I know you have the M3, does your combination give you less vignette?

So far, so good...at least after ~45 minutes' experience.

There's a bit of vignetting in my M2, looks like in the 1-2 stop range – not too different from my 600/4L IS II. I shoot RAW and DxO automatically corrects it based on the camera+lens-specific module, so I don't really notice it.

Thanks, Neuro.
I thought I got a good lens in that, saw the vignetting and got quite disappointed. Have not used it much since. Now I have to try out and look for a lens correction and vignetting mitigation program, like DxO.
Appreciate your note.

Beautiful. I always long to see more owls while out in the woods, but rarely do.

For me it's less than rarely. Only one G H owl once!

But we have one B eagle pair in the river valley nesting. Few hawks, when years ago they were all over. I think some are challenged by humanity's treatment of the planet.
