Hi Paul, I particularly like the frog photo. Question: I'm impressed with the sharpness of your photos posted recently. Are you doing anything special in your editing process to account for it?

The magnifier is intended for lenses of 300mm or longer. I used my A 400/5.6 on the *istD. I had hoped to get some birds, but they were in hiding for the most part. I ended up shooting some wildflowers and a frog at the edge of a pond. The wildflower is about the range for a nice bird shot. The frog is a bit closer. The flower is f8 @ 1/1500. The frog is 5.6, 1/1500. I like the performance of the magnifier. It should give me a reach of close to 100 feet even in daylight. Thanks to Bill Sawyer for turning me on to that unit. The frog shows some specular highlights. I decided not to PhotoShop them out of there, because I kind of like them. I suspect that he's actually a prince. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3469495&size=lg http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3469504 Paul
