Here are two shots taken with my *istDS, an A200/4 and an AF1.7 multiplier. I was very pleasntly surprised with the results. This makes a very compact equivalent of an autofocus 510mm on 35mm.
http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/wings.jpg ISO 800 - f9.0 and 1/3200 (action program and autofocused) http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/nheron.jpg ISO 800 - f7.1 and 1/320 (normal program and manual focus touch-up) I believe the 2nd photo is a Black Crowned Night Herron. He posed obligingly, then turned his head to show his long white crown feathers (@ Corkscrew Swamp near Naples, Florida). The first photo is 1/4th of a full frame captured with autofocus on the beach. Here is a full size (554KB) version of the same to allow you to see detail. http://members.aol.com/rfsindg/wings0.jpg Let me know what you think. Regards, Bob S.
