That would be the DG version released just before the OS versions. I tested the Pre-DG 120-300 and 300 prime.

Okay thanks for the clarification, when you said that in the original post for some reason I thought you were referring to non DG teleconverters.

One of the reasons I hate flickr so much--For a lot of people, if their paid accounts lapse at some point, there's a good chance older files will no longer be viewable. Looking at a lot of older threads, so many missing images...

this is a bit misleading.

url links to flickr pages will work no matter if they are beyond the 200 pic limit for the free account.

the 200 pic limit only applies to the photostream itself. you cannot browse to the 201th pic. if that pic appears in a group, or has a direct link, it can still be viewed.

furthermore, most of the "broken image" issues are due to people changing the privacy settings of their pics. flickr will immediately regenerate the path/file url of the jpg itself, which prevents the image from being seen. this is by design, and arguably, the correct course of action. even if one flips the privacy back to public, the path/file will never be the same... you have to go back and fix your img urls.

finally, according to flickr's TOS, all embedded pictures should have a direct link back to the photo page itself. just doing an img tag is technically against their rules. if the link back to the html photo page were present then you would always be able to reference it, even if the img path were to be changed.

Trying out Sagelight (have been using mostly freeware) I reprocessed that last 600mm uncropped shot. What do you think?

If anything, this combination lets me fill the frame with birds I'd never have the chance to do so with otherwise.

Testing out some wireless flash units, I thought I'd try droplets at 600mm. I like how the flash reflections looks like an electrical arc
