I’m going to photograph the birds that land on the phone line behind our house using this 10 year old Nikon D200 and this 40 odd year old Pentax / Takumar 400mm lens that’s been butchered to fit.

The screen isn’t high res enough to judge focus even roughly. So, again, it’s a bit like shooting film. You’ve got to be pretty sure when you press the shutter.

You don’t want to go above ISO400 to avoid noise. But it still has big advantages over a phone camera if used right.</p>
