Hi Saphire

Like the Robin - seems like a great lens, Exif shows 1/200 at f5.6 so will be expecting super shots from you when light levels improve.
Enjoy.

Brian

Christine,you were asking re extenders with this lens.Here is a shot taken with a 2x on Wed.I only used the P prog ,ISO 400,and had to focus manually,cam was on a tripod,I just thought I would give it a try.The Redshanks were so far away,they were only visible with binoculars,so hope this shows what this lens is capable of producing,esp if someone who understands cam settings had taken this shot.The only editing ,is a highlight and crop in Picasa and a file re-size in Elements.Light was not very good,although there was a little sunshine,along with a 9 force gale,this is a shot one would normally have digiscoped(ie in the absence of a 600mm,2x !!!)

I've also inc a Red breasted Merganser shot,which was taken in very poor light,lens pointing down to the grey water.

Wow! Christine they are fantastic shots, really sharp. I wish the sun would hurry up and come out, so I can test the lens properly. I took some today with the 1.4x taped and they were not bad but had to have the camera on 1600 to get a 1/125s. Keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Thanks Christine, I tried to have another play today but it has been very dull again. They promise sun tomorrow so hopefully I will have a better chance to get out and about.

Nice shots Chris. Can't believe we missed you, we could have done with a brew. Can't believe my comment to Dek when I said "One day we'll be out and about and bump into you both" little knowing we were yards away. Spookie.
