Got me the Canon EF 2x II extender today...ok, not ideal weather conditions today but the shot above was taken at the back of the shop, across the road into another shop window...(kinda test shot)...I loose two stops so lots of light is needed. I think approx it gives me about 1040mm telephoto. Must admit, very pleased with the result, not brilliant in its compo but its close enough for wildlife and candid shots...etc. Happy New Year to all and lets hope 2005 produces some stunning photography...CHEERS jimbO

Looks superb - took a pic of that bloke in the dodgy hat no problem ;) Happy New Year - look forward to seeing the shots

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Cool toy, I would think that this is now a tripod essential set up? 1040mm now that is gonna be some power for w/l shots. Look forward to seeing the results My I recommend that if you ever visit Scotland you should go to the Loch of the lows near Dunkeld Perthshire, Excellent for peregrine falcons in the spring, there is an excellent hide there but you need a BIG lens (perfect for you) cant get close enough myself. All the best for 2005 and your new toy Simon
