I needed to bust out the big guns to take some pics of the birdies before they fly off on their own adventures... so out came the GH5 with the 100-400 f/4-6.4 lens. It's the equivalent of a 200-800mm on 35mm.

I'm held back a bit by the really low light in my barn. Most of the shots above were taken at ISO 4000 at 1/60s (handheld) with the lens wide open. It would be nice to have a larger sensor, but then again I would have to have a lens that is even more expensive than what I have. Compromises all around.
