I guess now that I think about it it seems like it would be. I think I've caught the bird and wildlife photo bug too.Midwestchaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029730861995418666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5459589073371862468.post-24178078607736632352010-03-04T21:19:42.387-06:002010-03-04T21:19:42.387-06:00You saw more eagles there than I did the last two ...You saw more eagles there than I did the last two trips put together. I'd call it a success. Don't get too bent on the 2x as the solution. Fast 2.8 glass at 200mm is still better than a slow 500mm for going birds/wildlife. The lens you are looking at with a 2x would be pretty darn slow and I don't think you would be happy with the results. Save up the coin and get the 50-200 2.8 then add a teleconverter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211130542755896513noreply@blogger.com
