    This forum is getting very expensive! Not that I am contributing to that.

    I love your 400 mm shots, good color, DOF, etc.thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Ginger.

    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.

    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.

    Ditto on the shots. Just realized something: 500mm x 1,4 TC = 700 x 1,5 crop factor = 1050mm. ZOINKS!
    enjoy being here while getting there

    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

    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

    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 thumb.gif
