[QUOTE="salukfan111, post: 503847, member: 39212"] I have a new toy to play with. It appears to front focus just a bit and I have not had a chance to calibrate the focus yet (the camera reads it is an auto focus lens). I shot with a 300mm f/4.5 (@f/4.5) set at infiinity with 1600 iso because it was kind of dark each evening I played with it - no cropping at all. I believe the pictures will be much better when I correct the front focusing and use f/8 or a little lower. I'm going on nights for a month and will be lending this combo to a birder friend to give it a good shakedown. There has been no post processing on these (apart from compressing in LR to post here) and maybe 5 had to be deleted because the camera focused on one thing (I'm using center focus). I'm hopeful this will work out so I can use with 300mm f/2.8 and 400mm f/3.5.
