    I love my Canon 300/2,8 L IS with EF2x II Extender

    Well, i'd say i had a good 100-400 but i prefer my 300er much more now I used the 100-400 at 400mm all the time, so a zoom was not necessary for me All in all i'd say using the 300 with EF 2x is as good as the 100-400 without a konverter. But of course you always prefer what you got, so if i...

    Hi the buzzard sat right behind my car, i'd say about 25 feet away the pic is no crop, it is fullframe I wanted to change to the 1,4 extender, but then the buzzard was gone Bye Tobias

    Canon 300 f2.8 on a 40D.

    Hi, i went through the same considerations: after selling my 100-400 i wanted to buy a 500/4. But then, my wife probably would have killed me (and the lens) :-O Of course, if there had been plenty of money, i would have bought a 500/4 but on the downside, using a 500/4 also limits the shots in...

    I love my Canon 300/2,8 L IS with EF2x II Extender

    Hi Ian, i wouldn't say the extra weight is a problem Before, i used the 100-400 with a 1,4 Kenko Extender a lot, but you need a lot of light for the AF Now, 600mm is 5,6 and that is really nice :t: Bye Tobias

    Which scope can be used without a mono-/tripod?

    Hi, i am still not sure whether to buy a small scope or 10x/12-bins i am sure, the bins would not satisfiy me 100%, as 10 or 12x is too short for me But on the other hand, i can use the bins without a tripod So: if there were a small scope which can be used without a tripod (of course not at...

    Best choice: small scope or bins?

    Hi, i am extremely uncertain what to buy ;-) i am photographing birds. but as i only got a 100-400 lens, i often have to creep to the birds not to make them fly away too soon So i have to find the birds at a bigger distance at first i thought about buying a Nikon Monarch 10x42 Binoculars but...

    Which way to go - digiscoping or long lens

    Hi Scoop i have been where you are now ;-) i bought a Zeiss 85 FL, 20-60x Eyepiece, a Zeiss Quick-Camera-Adapter, a very heavy Berlebach Wood-Tripod and a Canon A95 The results didn't satisfy my. Of course, others show terrific pics using the Zeiss and the A95, but i was not willing to carry...

    Nikon ED50 or Bino Nikon Monarch 10x42?

    Hi, i used to have the Zeiss Diascope 85 FL with 20-60x EP As the Zeiss was very heavy and i always had to carry my heavy berlebach-wood-tripod, i sold everything now i am tempted to buy a Nikon Monarch 10x42 Bino But then i found the Fieldscope ED50 Can i use it without a tripod? If not, is a...
