Ya, and hopefully Tom will sell me his 1.4x and I can enjoy that. It's also shorter. The Canon 2X mounted, makes the camera and lens and 2x too long for my TLZPro. The 1.4x I can leave mounted. that alone will make a big difference. I won't have to be mounting and unmounting. Oh ya, the front pocket will be free to hold other things. Did you send a JPG to the group? It didn't make it. Or did you forget to include a link to that image? - ok next message WOWzers, that is one bright little tweater :-) I don't personally count the feathers on them, it's the overall art image that I want. A certain amount of unsharpness can also be allowed too in some scenes. But getting closer, making those little guys fill more of the frame makes a realy big difference. Birds that size rarely let me get very close. -- Need a brighter headlight the safe way?
