Phoenix Zoo

Monkey, Phoenix Zoo, Phoenix, Arizona. ⇑

I don’t remember the name of this monkey species captured at the Phoenix Zoo, Phoenix, Arizona. This image is proof that mirror lenses can be quite sharp! This was captured with a 600mm F:8 Sigma mirror lens mounted on a Pentax K100D. I used the shake reduction feature of the camera and mounted the camera and lens on a tripod. In spite of the bad reputation mirror lenses have, this image came out rather sharp!
