  2. Beautiful, esp the singing shot. Bracket kat atas tu untuk ape?, macam target rifle scope je

    1. Memang air rifle targetting viewfinder. Gunanya jika camera di atas tripod. Memang susah nak dapatkan target dlm viewfinder jika shoot lebih dari 1000mm focal length. Kalau untuk setup ni tak perlu pakai target finder, cuma sebab lens pinjam I tak sempat nak cabut viewfinder tu.
