new body to go with Nikon 300mm f2.8

[ra1stlin]

This lens has a amazing bokeh..

Yeah, it's looking great. I'm assuming you have a 1.4x or 2.0x extender to go with it? It'd be good to see how it works with these.

I'm currently trying to find out which is the best between TC-17e ii or TC-20e iii so if anybody has tried these whats your opinion ? I'll get one of those to go with a TC-14 I was still tempted by the 150-600 Sigma sport for the long range but would like to stick with the TC's as long as the IQ is decent

Soon as we get some better weather I'll compare the 300mm f2.8 stopped down against my 80-400G

Ron these are really good, thanks for sharing. Those little 'garden' birds are quite lovely photographed like that. Do you use a tripod for them?

 

[ron]

Thank you, all pics posted so far are handheld

6mm fly under low light, heavy crop . I'm really liking this camera, I've only had it a couple of weeks and really enjoying using it.
