[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I called a photo shop to ask about it and the salesman told me this is not the lens I want for shooting birds. He said what I need is a doubler (2X). The specs I had read on this lens sounded real good but I haven't been able to find any reviews for it. The 2X he was talking about was about $200.00 less than the 500mm so he wasn't trying to talk me into buying something more expensive. Any thoughts? [/FONT]
