@zlatko I haven't really decided yet if it stays with me and for how long. Either way, I don't intend to use it as a cat lens … rather for some nature/wildlife and maybe basic #astrophotography (the Moon and perhaps some of the nearest galaxies).
So far, I my largest tele is a vintage 500mm #CanonReflexLens from the early 1980s, which is quite good for a mirror lens but also difficult to use on a modern camera (see some examples below).
There is some kind of light installation on the old water tower of #Berlin's #Virchow hospital. They illuminate it in changing colours, right now it's green.

The city of #Athens, seen from a hill on #Agistri island about 40 kilometres away. In the center of the image, you can see the #Acropolis in front of Mount #Lycabettus, and especially the west pediment of the #Parthenon glowing in the evening sun.

I just made this little video of a Eurasian jay, grooming its feathers in a tree.
This time, I made sure the microphone was properly plugged in, so you can all hear the frogs croaking in the nearby pond. 😸

In the jungle that my garden is these days, it is difficult to spot any birds as they all hide in the bushes and trees.
Anyway, here's a great tit I was able to catch on film with my vintage 500mm #CanonReflexLens at high ISO (12800).

A pair of common jays just started to build a nest in the tree in front of my living room window. 😻
(I hope I'll be able to provide better photos soon.)
