Fresh ebay orders of the day:
A 100mm straight extension plate (arca style) £8 50 inc. postage(UK 1 week wait)
The AF-S 500mm F4D is front heavy on a tripod mono-pod.
Clamp For Quick Release Plate: (Compatible Arca Benro Letu Tripod Ball QR50) £4.38 inc. postage (a China four week wait)
Like the birdie it goes..cheap cheap cheap
OT.
Man I'm loving that lens, it's still sharp on the APSc D7100 in 1.3X crop mode, (15 Mps FOV 975mm)
I'm developing muscles in places where I didn't even know I had places! at least I'm hurting in those places, so I guess there's muscles there.
I climbed up the cliff tops at Les Gorges du Tarn near the new Millau viaduc with 10Kgs of lenses and bodies in the new Lowpro 500AW backpack to get some shots of vultures, it's like hand holds and footholds stuff. This created a new rule for my shooting...big bird=big sensor D750 ...little birds=little sensor...D7100... Big cliffs=little kit!
Also with an extension tube it does great macro at distance on the D7100 in 1.3X crop mode, AF works and you don't disturb the buttyflies.
