[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 365096, member: 24285"] Suffering a little sticker shock at the prospect of a nice long lens. Upwards of a grand I fear to get one. Used maybe $700. I was reading a bit more about primes and began to wonder if maybe I could satisfy me lust for a nice long lens for hunting birds by getting a descent, older 300mm prime and putting a 1.4x teleconverter on it. I see some on eBay for under $500 - some under $400. Teleconverters seem to range anywhere from $150 to $300. Anybody use that kind of set up - any recommendations? Am I on a wild goose chase [I](pun intended :o ) [/I]and should just make do with my old 100-300 Siggy and 70-210 Nikkor? I'm not that avid of a bird shooter - so the idea of dropping a grand or anything close to a grand is not on my radar until I win the lottery. I'd just like to add that capacity to my camera bag of tricks. [/QUOTE]
