Actually the 1.7x AF adapter. Makes for a 510mm focal length and I'd
have to go back and look at the original file, but IIRC that was the
middle third of the frame. Distance was maybe ~25 ~30 yards, you can
read that as meters and it's probably about as accurate, which doesn't
sound like much, but when you're photographing song bird sized objects
it's a long ways.

Yes it does work! I recall when you posted it as a PESO.
Nice sharp photo of a bird with attitude.
So you said 300mm + 1.4x converter? How far were you away?
cheers,

Yea, that's because it points to the file on my local machine and not to
the page at my dropbox account. This should work.

I don't know what Frank used but for this one I used the A*300mm f4.0
with 1.7x AF converter and cropped quite a bit.

It was a while ago but IIRC the bird was quite some ways away.

Great catch, Frank! It's really tough to get a good shot of a robin,
at least in my experience. And believe me; I've tried.
I've never been able to get quite that close. What lens did you use?

On the other hand there's the Martin Luther connection.
Hope you enjoy. Comments always welcome.
