Thanks Anthony, I'd love a 400mm lens and a K20D. The trouble is I've been looking for a Sigma 400 f/5.6 APO tele macro to compliment the 300 f/4 APO I have but can't find one. I've been down the teleconverter route but now I'm thinking more pixels to achieve a greater print size hence the K20D is the logical choice, at least the K20D is still in production unlike the Sigma 400. Toine's shots were very good and I enjoyed seeing them epecially when I knew the lens used.

John, Put the 400mm on the K20d and solve all your problems at once ;-) But seriously, no one can tell you what will be acceptable to you. You'll have to set your own standards based on your own experience. Just look at Toine's shots with his "new to him" 38 year old T-Novoflexar 400/5.6. They're cracking good and couldn't have been better even if he had a brand new lens worth 10 or 20 times more. If you crop your shots, don't sweat it and don't tell us that you cropped. If they're good we'll tell you as much.
