Charles,
The detail is pretty amazing. Have you tried the 500mm with the 1.4x?

Hey Charles,

If you keep posting these shots it could be dangerous to my bank balance. :D
I'm so jealous. Looks like you will get some good use out of that lens.

Not only that, but there are soooooooo many varities of birds to shoot there, it could become a full time gig :wink


Nice lens and thanks for sharing,
Steve

Very nice shots, Charles. I bet you are excited. I was excited the first time I used my 300 Prime.
