SL with 180mm Elmarit-R v. 2 + APO-Extender-R 2X . . .

My Purple Heron friend has been missing the past couple of days, but it looks as though he sent his cousin, the Grey Heron, to fill in during his absence . . .

Tritentrue,  Your wildlife photographs are superb.   IMO, your current setup with the SL and 105-280 Vario-Elmar-R + APO tele-extender is superb.  I realize it is heavy, but the resulting photographs have great content, color, texture, light, composition, bokeh...all a leading to your creating most excellent photographs.  Personally, I wouldn't change a thing and just keep creating your beautiful wildlife photographs.  r/ Mark

Thank you very much for the kind words.  The 105-280mm Vario is quite a lens, and renders amazing imagery with either teleconverter.  Like its prime cousin, the 280 f/4 APO, it can capture an incredible amount of fine detail in unfavorable light, as in the photo above, which was shot (without TC) in overcast drizzling rain.

Heavy setup, yes:  3.428 kilograms, shot handheld, and I'm not getting any younger! 

Attached is one of my crusty old Collared Kingisher pal from yesterday, this one shot using the APO 1.4X . . .
