I love this thread! You guys with your long lenses comparing squirrel pictures and sending messages with them. :) Congrats on a good lens, Dante. I love the one with all the birds getting together. Almost seems appropriate for this forum of weird birds. ;)

LOUD AND CLEAR, my friend.

Keep posting. I feel like a jumper on top of the Golden Gate Bridge. Some people are screaming for me to hold on, while you guys are imploring me to jump, jump right into the 300 f2.8 degree water. And jump, I just might.:lol:

OHHHH TIm. I love squirrels. So tasty! Almost as good as the bokeh. I did have the 2x TC on yesterday just fooling. Left it at home for the the duck pond trip. will bring it tomorrow. Funny thing is, "the Hubble" like operating at 5.6 and up. AF does not seemed slower. Hear that MDJAK, this lens works great with a 2X TC!!

Pop on the 1.4 and you forget its even on lol.:D
