My first ever sighting and photographing of a Merlin, taken this morning. NIkon 1.4 TCEII and my Nikon 30mm f4, using a monopod.

Excellent photo!
Art - I finally gave in and purchased the 105mm f2.8 macro. I should have bought this lens a long time ago.

Nice Merlin shot Art.
Welcome to the DARK SITE, Glenn!!!! One of the best lenses Nikon makes, in my opinion. I simply love mine!
Congratulations on your purchase!
Art - not only you've corrupted me with the Nikon 105mm, I also pulled the trigger on the Nikon 300mm f4 AF-S lens. I'll make sure it gets wrapped and placed under the tree.
The 300mmf4 & 1.4 TC is my favorite combo.You have no idea how this pains me!!! I am sorry you are suffering this much due to my regard!!
Glenn,
I just purchased a Nikon 400mm f3.5. This is an oldie-goldie and the price was more in line with what I can afford right now. I should have it in a few days, maybe even tomorrow. This is a manual focus and I don't think I will suffer too much as a result, but I am expecting some killer sharp images from it.
Just in case you want to be corrupted some more!!
Congratulations, you will greatly enjoy both these lenses, they are top notch product. Feel free to add the Nikon 1.4TC to the 300mm, it is a killer combination!

Yes, I have to agree. I know the feeling. When I put the 1.4TC on the 300, it pretty much never came off! Amazing quality.
