    Charles,
    The detail is pretty amazing. Have you tried the 500mm with the 1.4x?

    Hey Charles,

    If you keep posting these shots it could be dangerous to my bank balance. :D
    I'm so jealous. Looks like you will get some good use out of that lens.

    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!"

    Very nice shots, Charles. I bet you are excited. I was excited the first time I used my 300 Prime.
