Yep I'm using mine. In fact me and the 393 are going camping right after I've sent this post. I've got a couple of white throated dippers with a child waiting for me :-) I'm using mine mainly with a Tamron adaptall x 1,7, my BigK (K-500/4,5) or the DA* 300.
Overall I think it does a pretty good job. I have also tried the Wimberly, kindly lent from a PDML lurker, hi Kaffilars :-) I think the Wimberly is slightly better on panning. Except from this I find them equal in performance. And equal with Wimberly means very good :-) I'm convinced you will find that it will improve the sharpness of your photos. To hell with work, just go out there and shoot :-) -- MaritimTim 2009/7/19 John Whittingham <[email protected]>: > 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.
