Hah, ducks, planes, and sports already! You do get around.

Not really...

All shot from within 50 yards of the same spot!

Simply the result of scrimping, saving and taking back the empties...

So that's the secret--I'll have to drink faster.

Congrats Jay

Very nice!!! Are you going to get a 2x tc to pair with the 300?

Hadn't thought about it really. I may have to rent one to see how it fares...

I think getting an effective 672mm @ f/4 ought to be sufficient for my needs but an effective 960mm might be fun to try (the f/5.6 would be the limiting factor.)
