Budget Nikkor Telephoto Lens | Episode 14: Kingfisher photography with Nikkor AI-S lenses

Spring is here! During the last two weeks, I've been hearing the kingfishers everywhere. That meant it was time to spend another few hours in my photoblind.

I finally got to try out my vintage Nikkor 600 mm F5.6 AI-S lens. These old lenses, in my not so humble opinion, are hidden gems on the internet. I got mine on Ebay. Mint in box, this one was a steal! And I forgot to mention in the video that it even included a (also mint) 201 2x teleconverter!
