I recieved my 1.4 convertor for the Sigma 120-300 and eager to put it to good use I went out for a stroll to see if I could shoot some birds.
I followed this Robin up the hedgerow for a while until he came close enough to pose

A beautiful series ... your robins are so much more elegant and delicate than the species we get here.

cheers,

Thankyou for your kind comments

Indeed, the UK Robin is a delicate, but incredibly bold little bird.

And the lens/convertor combo - it it truly great. Quick AF and sharp, plus I am hitting 400mm @ F4.

Thanks again :)

very nice series. congratulations. Number 4 is an absolutely fine shot with nice background. You're getting good performance with a zoom + 1.4x.

Classic shots of the Robin. Good colours too on the shots. What's amazing is the focus on the subjects, both Robin and the leaves and branches nearby.
