Do you know how much the best bird lens for a Canon DSLR costs? You could buy a new car... or a bird lens for your Canon.

I'll just come right out and tell you that the very best one you can buy is the 600mm. And, yes, it costs more than $11,000.

But we are talking cheap here. So forget that $11K beast until you win the lottery.

There are a few less expensive lenses that will do a really good job, but they also cost upwards of $5,000. So... what's a photographer on a budget supposed to do?

There are a couple of solutions to the problem that won't cost you thousands of dollars and your first born child.

First, there are a few lenses that will do the job for much less than those listed above. Of course, if you are going to pay less, you will have to realize that the results will not match up, especially if you are going to go trekking through the wild, toting you camera and gear. (One of the suggestions is to NOT go trekking, but have the wildlife - the birds - trek to you.)

You can opt for a shorter range piece of glass. There are some great lenses in the "under 400mm category" that will give you some really good shots. Here are a few that you might consider:

Canon 300mm f/4.0 L IS USM - this one costs a little over $1000. Sure, that might be more than you paid for your DSLR, but if you want results in this area, you will have to make some concessions monetarily.

Canon 100-400mm f/4.0-5.6L IS USM - another gem that runs about $1500. Photographers who own this baby absolutely LOVE IT. Most would not trade it for anything.

Sigma 150-500mm f/5.6-6.3 - notice the 500mm number. That is way good. The lens has gotten some really good reviews from folks who use it. The one thing about this puppy is that you will need some pretty decent light because it does not have a very large aperture to start with. So, lots of light and a tripod will be assets when using this one. Cost is under $1000 - yippee!

I save the best for last. You can take great photos with bird lenses that are not even considered by most people in this category. How? you might ask.

The secret is that you get the little feathered creatures to come to you. Set up a smorgasbord of delights for them to feast upon. And do it in a way that you can get the best images ever.

My personal setup is right outside my kitchen window. I have a deck that I attached some cut up branches to. I drilled holes into the branches to make feeding stations. Then I situated my feeders in such a way as to allow me the very best angle possible. It took a little tweaking, but the final setup works really well.

And here's the best part. I use my Canon 70-200mm f/4.0 USM lens. This little thing only cost me about $500. I can also use my newest Sigma 18-250mm lens to take the shots when birds come too close for the other one.

A little work on your part can save you lots of cash. Plus it will keep you in the comfort of your own home where you can enjoy some great photography and a cup of coffee.

Biomedics Contact Lenses Bring Your Life Into Focus

CooperVision's Biomedics XC contact lenses are 1 to 2 week disposable contacts that are worn as daily lenses for up to two weeks and then discarded. The lenses are made using Biomedics' patented PC technology, from a unique material containing molecules of phosphorylcholine, which is found naturally in human cell membranes, and they have water content of 60 percent.

Biomedics XC is part of CooperVision's PC Hydrogels family of contact lenses, a special category of lens material designed for daily wear that offers excellent health and optimum comfort. Hydrogels fit a wide range of patient prescriptions. All contact lenses in the PC Hydrogel category go beyond the minimum acceptable oxygen necessary for safe daily wear.

Biomedics Premier

A study conducted by Pete Kollbaum, OD, FAAO and Arthur Bradley, PhD, has shown that Biomedics Premier aspheric lenses effectively control spherical aberrations, a problem that commonly occurs after laser eye surgery.

Spherical aberration is a problem caused when light refracts, or bends, at different angles as it shines through both the contact lenses and your eyes. Those light rays are then unable to focus on the back of your eyes. The Biomedics 55 soft Premier contact lenses are the first disposable lenses to help direct the light rays to their correct position at the back of your eyes.

CooperVision/Ocular Sciences Biomedics 55 Premier gives you clear, comfortable sight, using an aspheric design to provide you with the best vision possible. You only wear them for two weeks, so you avoid the buildup of pollutants that can irritate your eyesight and cloud your vision. The lenses are infused with a light tint, making them easy to locate in cleaning solution.

Biomedics Toric

The need for effective toric contact lens correction is vital, with statistics stating that more than 50 million Americans have clinically significant astigmatism. Biomedics Toric is made of ocufilcon D and is designed for 2-week planned replacement. It also has a spherical counterpart for use in case the patient is spherical in one eye.

Biomedics Colors

In April 2002 what was then Ocular Sciences Inc. (a recent acquisition of CooperVision) announced the introduction of Biomedics Colors, a cosmetic contact lens available in four opaque colors that offers beautiful and natural color enhancement matching the eye's innate appearance, while continuing to provide the clinically proven performance of Biomedics 55. These lenses make use of proprietary technology that incorporates four patterns of color on each lens, resulting in a natural look that closely replicates the numerous patterns and hues within the human iris.

Of course, with the various types of contacts available, the most important thing to keep in mind is to follow your doctor's orders on which kind is required for your eyes. If you're interested in Biomedics contact lenses, check with your doctor and he/she can prescribe the type that's best for you.
