Working with F4 lenses in good light makes sense to me. I would also guess that this is camera limited. We know that different models focus better in low light than others. On 9/1/07, P. J. Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This was taken with the A*300mm f4.0 and F 1.7x converter. It wasn't t

Perry, I've used it to good advantage with the 200/4 lens on shore birds. In bright light, any f4 lens seens to do well with it. If I can find the pictures, I'll post some samples. Regards, Bob S. On 9/1/07, P. J. Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This was taken with the A*300mm f4.0 and F 1.7x
