Captive Animals A couple of tiger shots from 2019 a7iii minolta 400 4.5 and manual focus using focus peaking as I had a non screw drive adaptor in the bag on the day

Really loving the contrast from that lens. Definitely my next purchase now.

Thanks for that apart from these and other shots on the day my regular co shooters never stopped laughing at me for packing the wrong adaptor and added to that the camera had been used for some online shots in jpeg and I had not reverted to raw , it did remind me that manual focus on these cameras is quite easy.
