Photo at the top: Estremadura qqq (qqq) 8 meter cloudy rice bag V3 Nikkor 300mm f4E PF VR equivalent 810mm total camouflage. While driving slowly in the country side this bird unexpextedly sat close nearby in front of us in the bush. Usually they are shy because they are hunted. This one stayed put relying on its camouflage. So did we in our car and our V3 and this wonderful and light 300mm PF did their job perfectly even in cloudy wheather.
