I'm glad to hear that.  I already own the A*200/2.8 and the A*300/4.  I really wanted 
more
reach but couldn't afford the A*400

 But you will want to break out that nice sturdy tripod.

I have the bogden/manfrotto 055C Tripod with the Bogden 029 head.  Is this sturdy 
enough?

Thats OK because I primarily want it for birds

Now I am confused.  You mean I can't just set the aperature and let the the camera set 
the
shutter?  I plan on using it on a ME Super and K2.

Thanks again, and have s great weekend.
