I'm using the Nikon 55-300mm with my handy-dandy Teleplus Pro 300 converter. I like this combo. Very happy with it. The birds are about 12 yards away.

I am very surprized to hear that Laura. I thought you couldnt use a TC with the 55-300 lens...these turmed out great!

Thank you. I think this is about the only one that works with it. It's the Kenko DGX N-AF 1.4X Pro 300. I got mine for $209.99 through eBay. Slow shipping but worth saving $50.

pretty much. These koi have been growing for 17 years in our pond. They are about 26 inches long.

you must not have blue heron's in your neighborhood or the koi are well protected. My sister had a pond with fish and the heron's loved her fish bar. :)

I had never seen a Heron in my area till last year. One moved in and within a week all my goldfish were gone. Some were 10 years old and were about 8 to 10 inches long.

We do have the heron's, AND egrets, AND cormorants. We try to be diligent in chasing them off when we see them. They took a toll on our other fish but we have some that made it. The largemouth bass and bluegill seem to be doing all right. We 'blue' the water every year to help keep the weeds down and the middle has a deep hole. That might help too.
