I'm impressed with the IQ on that S3 with the TC on it.

Thanks Mitch. You have to watch for abberation at the corners - you can see it on the post, bottom left, but it's pretty good in the middle. Incidently, is there any way of getting rid of such abberation with PP, in a similar way that noise reduction works?

lovely shot - in fact better than a heck of a lot of shots from much better gear!
Can't help with the CA sorry.

eccles, only way I'm aware of to fiddle with CA is if it's a RAW. Does the S3 shoot raw?

Great shot ... and thread tit.le by the way ;)

The best shot of a Great Tit I have ever seen. I presume you clipped the end of the tail off in the original capture? If you cropped down to just the bird's head you could creat a nice avatar for yourself from this.


Canon 400D, (1DMkIII pre-ordered), 500mm f/4 L IS, 70-210 EF, 1.4x TC, BG-E3 grip, Manfrotto 055 + Wimberley II head, Lowepro Lenstrekker 600AW backpack, Crumpler bag.

Thanks all.
@Al, the S3 doesn't shoot raw. There's a hack around that will enable it but I'm a bit reluctant to try it.
@Accentor, thanks. Yes I clipped the tail, realised it and snapped the bird again but it looked the other way and the moment was lost. I'll see about that avatar. :)

Geeze, I just got the mail notice for this thread. But as far as I know RAW format is the only way to fix vignetting.

vignetting

Vignetting isn't a problem, but chromatic abberation is. If shooting raw means I can fix it, I'll take a look at the S3 hack.

I don't see any chromatic abberation in this shot. When you said the center stays good but the corners don't, I thought vignetting.
