Hi all,

We picked up a new Canon TC-DC58a on ebay recently and I'd like to share a few of our first efforts with it.

These first 2 are with it attached to our old S3-IS...
Cardinal:

Bluebird:

And these are with it attached to our S100fs...

We like this new lens, but it's always hard to be objective about newly acquired gear so any observations any of you have about it would be appreciated.

And of course we hope you enjoy our birds,

Kenn

It looks like a slightly greater dof Kenn and they are brighter too. Other than that they are fine looking indeed. Really like the last two.

I'm not sure they are better than your old stuff. That is to say, just about perfect.
