A scene that is becoming too familiar. The smoke is from fires 70 miles or so to the north of us

Bumble Bee With Pollen Leg Wrap by David Stephens, on Flickr

Handheld, Sony a7RIII, FE 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 GM OSS, FE 2.0x teleconverter. DxO PhotoLab 2.1 processing.

Some people say the FE 2.0x teleconverter is crap!! I don't think they know what they're doing. This is on a ZOOM lens. Wait 'til I get my 400mm prime.

Itsed65 · 08-13-2018, 07:46 PM

It's not crap at all, you just need to know you are shooting 800mm@f11 and that takes some practice

Itsed65 · 08-13-2018, 07:48 PM

Imagine my surprise, seeing this guy perched right along the road at Pt Reyes in the middle of the afternoon. He was actually too close for my big guns to work, but luckily I had the RX10 handy. When he didn't move, I also was able to get my 1DIV with the Canon 100-400 up and got some too, but I haven't unloaded that card yet.

Ed, I showed a friend your work with the RX-10. I think that I sold another Sony!! Maybe I should say that you did.

One look through the POTN or FM forums and this camera sells itself. Especially for people that want to shoot birds/wildlife without sinking 4 figures before they figure out if they like it or not.

It's an incredible deal. For the price of a used lens, you get a complete kit. You really need to look at the pixel level or a big print to really see any difference.
