Hi Tim,
Thanks for the info, and the link to the 300-800 article.
I plan on getting the Manfrotto to be used with my A* 300mm f/2.8
combined with the 1.7x AF converter, the 1.4x L, or both :-)

Jay,
I decided that I might as well go for it and if it didn't work out I
could always sell it. Even though f5.6 is not as fast as I would
prefer and a zoom would not be as sharp as a prime, I figured the
flexibility of having the wide zoom range could come in handy and the

Nice shot, although a little crispy looking. Perhaps oversharpened a

Nice lens! You'll have a blast with it.
Oh yeah, this puppy is pretty heavy. I'm hoping my tripod (Benro
1327) is stout enough as well as the Wimberley Sidekick
Congratulations. Mega enablement indeed.
Be sure to show us more pictures. The one you showed is very good indeed.

I just found out how expensive these long lenses are... The lens itself
is pricey, but then you need some pretty expensive accessories (gimbal
mounts, etc) if you don't already have them!

The lens seems to be very good on digital.

Not sure why you can't connect to the link, but here is the address

Speaking of mega-enablement:

Just in case anyone knows of or finds one for sale.
