Thanks for the compliments and the warm welcome to the forum. I just picked up the 70-200 F2.8 IS II and am loving it. I wish I would have had the 1.4x extender in this particular case as these are cropped quite a bit. Regardless I was very happy with the results when I loaded the pictures into LR5 for my first view.

Very good first post,like how you wish you had the 1.4 extender on, never enough reach, this is normal and you fit in to the bird forum well.

Welcome and great first shots.

Forget the 1.4 and go straight for the X2, LOL.

Start looking at the big primes and start saving.
