http://www.flickr.com/photos/jb_sessoms/3396685627/ K10D, Sigma 300 2.8 + Sigma APO 1.4x tele-converter, on a tripod ... ISO 400 (I think) The image is a bit soft. I've noticed that whenever I use the 1.4x converter, even though it's supposed to be matched to the lens. It just kills me. Some guy came along with a Nikon D200 & 200 mm Nikon IS lens and chimping what he got looked a whole lot sharper than what I got. But ... it's what I got. ========= Bird are hard and long glass is very expensive. It's what you got. Try again? BTW, I really like this. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jb_sessoms/3217697139/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Artified, I do that, I like artified. That's very, very nice.
