Humboldt Penguin

Akron Zoo, Ohio

The lighting was quite harsh making it a challenge to get a good shot.
68mm of extension tubes were required to allow focusing at such a close distance.

More images from the Akron Zoo can be seen here.

Interesting! I've never even thought about using extension tubes with this lens! Does AF work with ex-tubes? What focus interval/distance do you get with these tubes?
