[QUOTE="hark, post: 741080, member: 13196"] I even went out one last time with the 300mm f/4 PF and the 1.7x TC, but almost everything was out of focus. So I swapped out the 300mm f/4 PF for the 300mm f/4 non-VR lens coupled with the TC. Wow, it is heavy compared with the PF. Since there isn't any VR, I made sure to increase my shutter speed and still wound up using Shake Reduction in PCC. For now, it will simply have to do. Otherwise, I need to choose a different lens altogether. A couple days ago, someone posted on Facebook about a Great Blue Heron that was injured. Typically we don't have too many of these birds around here so I was concerned the injured bird might be the one I've photographed in the past. The injured heron was picked up by a volunteer and taken to a Wildlife Sanctuary - haven't heard whether or not the heron lived as someone thought it might have been hit by a vehicle. :( I went out in search of the heron I've photographed in the past knowing the odds of seeing it would be slim. Usually I only see it on weekends when there are fewer people and less traffic. Thankfully I saw it and was able to take some photos. This is a decent sized crop from the original as I wasn't that close. [ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]343500._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
