Lothar, I have done a lot of shooting today, with both the lenses and with, and without, TC! I'll write more later!

Spent the last hour or so trying to find the source of the problem. I shot the mallard at around 20-22 meters, that day, and the light was not fantastic, and the wind was fierce. Using my two ...

Mine was way out, while yours look closer up, were they?! But I think it might have to do with me having to convert the images with DxO to TIFF. I actually don't think the problem is the lens, but ...

I have a no-name 0.45X wide adapter that I bought some time ago (it is a bit unusual, as it can be taken apart, and then you can use the rear end as a stand-alone close-up filter). I have found ...

I use my 100-400 with TC, constantly! Long enough for birding in most instances, that combination, that is. Yesterday: Cute Coot. Mallard hen with her ducklings. Herring gull eying me. A raven, ...

"You can now favorite images in Google Photos" - eh?!

No grammar check here, evidently ;-) !

But Lars is German, maybe that's why it is Ginglish. A bit like the Yoda, but he speaks grammatically...

Will redo my tests with a Nikon 1 camera soon, and my D600! You do bring up an interesting point, though, something I had forgotten to consider this time.

Agree fully with CamGuyEd,  I too use my Sigma 150-600 S constantly on a tripod, with gimbal head while I use the Sigma 100-400 (with TC-1401 mostly) on a monopod or handheld. At 550mm my bet is on ...

Have not yet calibrated it, as I am pretty pleased with the focus as it is, but it can be improved, that's for sure.

None of my shots were taken with MF.

I have done the same test today, shooting at the same bird feeder, at about 7 meters (the D3300 doesn't give focal distance). Still sharper at around 550mm than 600mm, but I doubt using the dock ...

Yeah, I had difficulties with head movement, as they tend to move their heads quickly, all the time. That TC is to me amazing, as I have had older versions, which really isn't in the same league!

I sure don't mind that, Wayne!

Really horrid weather here today, hope to do just that tomorrow!

Visited my sister's, during the weekend, and her garden was filled with wood sparrows, blue tits, and many other species of birds and insects. A Wood Sparrow with his/her chick . Blue Tit parent ...

One way would be turning into a MILC ;-)! That is, using the sensor in the same way as those in the Nikon 1 cameras, and add a good, big, EVF on top!

The other day I noticed that my copy of the Sigma S seemed to be a bit sharper at 575mm than at 600mm. The difference was barely noticeable, but it became evident when I added my TC-1401. Thus, at ...

I think a lot of the V3 users are happy users but have no need to advertise it!

150-600 Gr works on J5? Wow!

TEdolph, yes, and no! For me, a Nikon camera need to be compatible somehow with F Mount. M43 definitely is not, unless you use AI-S lenses, and a suitable adapter. That would be a great idea, an ...
