Greetings from Florida. I love my Canon 300 f/4 L IS with the 1.4X extender and just wanted to share some shots for those who maybe considering this combo.

:scratch I could have bought the 1.4X with the 300mm I bought. I generously let a different work colleague buy it as he was heading to the mountains. Now that its my turn to go on vacation, I really am having second thoughts.

Thanks, the first one is a black skimmer which I believe you could see over there on the West coast at the beach.

Ann, thanks for looking, if I were you I would have one over-nighted ! In super low light the af will be a little slow but it does bother me much.MF is so easy w/ an L anyway

That Cooper's Hawk shot has some great light and I like the pose of the reddish egret.
