Thanks Ben. I have a couple shots of the Hyacinth's also. I'll post them sometime. I think they're extremely rare. They had 2 of them at the Akron Zoo. The Reds here were at the National Aviary. The had them outside in the rose garden.
I agree everyone needs one, now if someone will give me the 5 grand I'll be on my way. I'll even settle for 3 grand towards the purchase of a used 4.5 500 without IS.:D

Very true about the Hyacinth's. No longer can be purchased here unless raised by federal licensed breeder and the going rate is about 15 G's. Oh well I can dream. Gotta find one though, so I at least have an image or two. And there diet is even expense, their main diet is Palm Nuts!!!
Again doing some fine work all around

The one thing that's good though is that most of the equipment holds it value. I never had any other interests where that happened.

Ditto on the shots. Just realized something: 500mm x 1,4 TC = 700 x 1,5 crop factor = 1050mm. ZOINKS!
Nice set and I dont think you need no stinkin 500

Maybe you're right. Maybe I should get the 400 2.8 and use the 1.4 extender. Sadly the 500 is actually cheaper.:uhoh
