My Kingdom for a Zoom Lens
Can you see the kitty in this picture? I’ll probably crop it someday, but oh would a zoom lens have come in handy on the Animal Kingdom Safari yesterday.

Today will see us at Hollywood Studios. Will it also see us at Epcot? Who knows. If it does, there will be 1000000000 pictures of the giant golf-ball-looking-thing in the near future.
Looking east along the beach, you can see #StMichaelsMount, which is built on a part-time island, in that it is an island when the tide is in but otherwise you can walk to it over a #causeway. We did that a decade ago. Here are a couple of views with a #ZoomLens (I didn’t have space to pack my telephoto lens).
Behold; the latest addition to my expensive paperweight collection - my Canon 100-400mm L zoom lens.
This was my go-to lens for wildlife but, due to “lack of spare parts”, it has been deemed “unrepairable” by Canon.
Aside from a small internal wire, it’s still an excellent lens.
I’m quite sure Canon could find some aperture ribbon cables for these lenses but I suspect they just couldn’t be bothered.
It’ll be Sigma for me next time.
What a waste
