Hehe, true I think! I once was experimenting with three stacked converters: F*300/f4.5 x 2 x 2 x 1,7 turning into something like 2040/f32. Well, that was an experience... :-) Mounted on a wooden Berlebach tripod with Manfrotto 2-inch ballhead, camera-shake could be handled - but to compose a view and then fix it with the ballhead was a pain. Too much clearance ratio for that device... All the best, Thomas > -----Original Message----- > From: Th.
