I recently bought a new lens for my Pentax K100D: a used Pentax 80-320mm f/4.5-5.6 FA. Since my camera has a APS-C sized sensor, this is approximately equivalent to a 130-500mm zoom – which allows you to get up nice and close to things. The lens got moderately good reviews on the net, it was in pretty good shape, so that was €200 well spent.

Last Sunday was one of the first nice and sunny days this year (at least since I came back from California – oh, how I miss thy warmth and sunshine!) I used the opportunity to visit Dublin zoo and get up and close to some animals with my new lens. Dublin zoo was founded in 1830, which makes it the fourth-oldest zoo in the world. It occupies a large area of Phoenix Park, about 10 minutes bike ride from my apartment.

So, without further ado, here’s my Dublin zoo gallery.
