So Pretty!!! These wolves seem to have a very large exhibit space...... do you get in there with them or use a larger lens to get pictures like this? Really great photos
π: 0 β©: 1
yes, they have a large natural exhibit
and I use telelens, but this guy was close, they usually come very close

This is a great shot, one of your best I daresay!
I love white wolves with bright eyes. But somehow in german parks it's like 99% of all 'polar' wolves have very dark brown eyes.

oh, really?

I only know that the two males Dag (especially Dag) and Ide from ZOO SchΓΆnnbrun, Vienna have bright/orange eyes. Some of the pups also have brighter eyes.
Yeah, bright eyes on a bright wolf have to look somewhat crazy.

There's nothing better than artic wolves is the snow!
π: 0 β©: 1
agreed, maybe just BLACK timbers on snow
Hm... by the way, I am thinking about buying new lens, Canon 70-200 L F4 (without IS). The price is quite good and everybody says it is amazing lens. So I might finally get some better equipment

Haha, I'm yet to try that. Unfortunately, the snow always melts away before I get to that park with black wolves 
70-200 f/4? Whoa. I'm not sure it'll be fun to use a 200mm lens without image stabilization. You would be forced to use shutter speeds of at least 1/800s, and that's already challenging with f/4... I'm sure it's a great lens - but the price would have to be really good for me to consider buying a lens with those specs.

ok, now you scared me a bit

The IS is probably the most important feature in telephoto lenses, right after maximum aperture. It saved me lots of times. It is possible to get sharp photos with a 200mm lens at 1/100s and even below if you are lucky if the lens has a good IS (and if you don't breathe *g*). Honestly, I would not consider a lens wihtout IS unless it's a wide-angle lens with a large maximum aperture. An aperture of f/4 and a telephoto lens are a combination I wouldn't go for. But that's just me. If you are using tripods for your photography, you can go for it, but if you are anything like me and want to shoot free-handedly, please reconsider.

I, indeed, love to shoot only from hand... Oh, now you made me worried, I will try to learn more about it...
The bad thing is, that IS version of this lens costs two times more than non IS version
thank you for info

Yes, that's for a reason
In any case, test it before you buy it. Or buy it off Amazon and send it back if it doesn't work for you. I would hate to see you waste money on a lens that is not optimal, just to save money... Look into the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8. It's image stabilized, has a better maximum aperture and is absolutely reasonably priced too. From what I heard (have not had the change to test it though... so it may be wrong) and seen it's absolutely worth a look!
It's the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM and selling for 940 EUR at the moment. I was told the sharpness is somewhere between the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 IS Mk I and II, which sounds impressive enough for that price

thank you, but this lens is THREE times more expensive than Canon 70-200 F4, maybe it is about Czech prices, I do not know
thank you for adive

The 70-200 f/4 is only 300 EUR? Wow, that lens costs 540 EUR here in Germany. So I would say it's much cheaper in the Czech Republic!
Okay... guess that's a good deal then, even without IS. Guess you can give it a try...
π: 0 β©: 1
here it costs 640 β¬
my mom runs a company, so she can avoid payig taxis, so I would be able to get one for 500 β¬...
Sigma you mentioned costs 1300 β¬ here
π: 0 β©: 2
Oh wow!
In the US, everything is usually at least 30% cheaper than here. I wonder who makes thoses prices...

you know what? One of ma dA friends was kind enough to offer me his lens 70-200 F4 for trying 
π: 0 β©: 1
That's awesome! I'm curious how it'll work for you!
By the way... the prices I've told you are the cheapest internet prices I could find - did you compare internet prices too?
π: 0 β©: 1
yes, I told you the cheapest prices too...

Sorry for interrupting your conversation, but may I ask how much costs a Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 without an image stabilizer in Czech Republic?
I own such a lens and in my opinion it's the most awesome thing you can get for not much money. I bought it second-hand on ebay for 450β¬. If I had bought it new I would have payed 600β¬ so it was a good deal.
I was able use Lupinicious' Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM lens once and could compare it to my Sigma. And the Sigma was surprisingly good in keeping up with the Canon one.

704β¬, but it seems only three e-shops offer it... and IS version costs more than 1200 β¬
you guys are so lucky to have money for such lens... I am stuck with my 55-250 kit lens for 200 β¬...

Weird, much more expensive. And ebay won't work for you?
Well, all money I got from jobbing for the last 4 years went into my photography equipment. Now I have to pay for study and won't be able to buy any lenses for the next years I fear.

I am afraid to buy used stuff
and YES, things here are more expensive, although we get much lower salary. Many people go to Germany to buy photo stuff and so
oh, good luck, dear 
π: 0 β©: 1
I can understand that, at first I was afraid, too. But actually most photographers are very careful with their equipment and small signs of usage on a lens don't really affect the outcome of a picture. All lenses show small signs of usage after some time and we still use them.
Bleh, that's retarded. =/ Though, compared to the past things have got much more expensive while salary drops here, too.
Thank you very much.

thank you for tips, pal

Hehe, I don't think I know more than you. For me it's good when it works and when it not works, then it's damaged.
