Borrow only the lens, don't borrow the same camera if you don't have it yet, you will be in a big big problem trying to afford a lens and a camera that both are worthy and phenomenal.

Hibiscus (external link) by Paolo Dolina (external link), on Flickr

In the Philippines, the gumamela (local name for hibiscus) is used by children as part of a bubble-making pastime. The flowers and leaves are crushed until the sticky juices come out. Hollow papaya stalks are then dipped into this and used as straws for blowing bubbles.

I am currently using my spare Wimberly lens plate bought initially for the 800mm IS. I am keen on the Naturescapes foot. I just need more feedback from end users before making the plunge.

BTW I am impressed with the 600mm IS II bare and with 2x Series II. I am as impressed as with the 400mm f/2.8 IS II bare and with the 2x Series III.

I am still getting the hang of the 1DX.

Spotted Munia (Lonchura punctulata) (external link) by Paolo Dolina (external link), on Flickr

The Scaly-breasted Munia or Spotted Munia (Lonchura punctulata), known in the pet trade as Nutmeg Mannikin or Spice Finch, is a sparrow-sized estrildid finch native to tropical Asia. A species of the genus Lonchura, it was formally described and named by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Its name is based on the distinct scale-like feather markings on the breast and belly. The adult is brown above and has a dark conical bill. The species has 11 subspecies across their range and differ slightly in size and colour.

This Munia eats mainly on grass seeds apart from berries and small insects. They forage in flocks and communicate with soft calls and whistles. The species is highly social and may sometimes roost with other species of munias. This species is found in tropical plains and grasslands. Breeding pairs construct dome-shaped nests using grass or bamboo leaves.

The species is endemic to Asia and occurs from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia and the Philippines. It has been introduced into many other parts of the world and feral populations have established in Puerto Rico and Hispaniola as well as parts of Australia and the United States of America. The bird is listed as of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Great Dolina! I am also as impressed with the 600 II as with any other lens I've tried.
