When you get there, give him your sob story and I'm sure he'll take care of you. Once he's there, he might as well finish the job.

The camera was in bright light but the box was in the shade (my yard wasn't big enough for both to be in the same light)....I've left the originals so you can download them at 100%. The first three are with the 400mm alone and AF. The second 2 are with the 1.4x tc and AF. The next two are with the 2x tc and MF and the last one is with both tc's... BOX SHOTS FOR YODA YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! PG ROCKS!@!
Nice boxes too, I was expecting a Canon box or something but I like the twist you put on it and can most definitely see the point. You actually did not miss the focus in the last one, believe it or not! There is a little bit of up/down shake blur, but I would not doubt that a 1120mm lens is tremendously challenging to hold 100% stable even on a tripod. (MLU, long lens technique, etc.etc. all needed and I am sure it will be a challenge for me to master too). Good thing is, there is no side to side shake blur so I can evaluate sharpness and.. I am impressed. That is one fearsome lens. Even with the 2x TC it hardly takes a hit. I notice a slight IQ hit going from no TC to 1.4x, but from 1.4x to 2x is hardly any worse, so I might as well use a 2x for extreme reach when I need it. Permagrin wrote in post #3846813 just for fun, I found a couple of PIT shots I don't think you guys have seen... being a tree pusher (not hugger)
and taking "quality photos"
I like the 2nd one! It reminds me so much of one situation where we were leaving a photo shoot, and one of the photogs pulls out....A CAMERA PHONE to take our group shot and I'm like "What? 3 photogs and six DSLRs between us and you have to use THAT?"
