Thanks Tom. Yep, the Flash X-Tender. I modified mine with a couple of
extra pieces of velcro on the brackets. It's a nice solution for lenses
longer than 300mm. Which means it will probably work fine with a 200mm
lens (or longer) on the *istD.

I shot this princely fellow yesterday during a walk in Bloomfield
Hills Nature Center. I used the *istD with the A 400/5.6 with an
A2X-S converter and the Sigma 500 super flash with the Kirk
magnifier. I need the magnifier with this rig even at fairly close
range since the biggest effective stop I can get is f11. The shutter
speed was 1/1000. Handheld of course. Note that only the princely
head is above water. The rest of the body is seen through the murky
pond water.

Nice shot Paul.
I assume that the Kirk magnifier is the Flash X-Tender?
