Hi Tim I'ne only tried it to see what it's like, unfortunately, because pressure of work has prevented me doing any bird photography lately. I was suitably impressed with it though, the longest lens I have is the DA* 300/4 fitted with 1.4, 1.5 or 1.7x TC. I'm hoping the 393 will help me with sharper images when SR is not so effective due to using one of the TC's. Initial tests proved it to be quite effective even when used with 300mm + 1.7 TC down to 1/125 sec. I'm hopimg to return to Mere Sands Wood (Kingfisher territory) and try it someday soon.
Are you still using yours? How do you find it?
