Milind Posted January 30, 2022 Share #97 Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Love the Kingfisher image- some of your images seem perfectly sharp like this Kingfisher but the martial eagle less. I am considering this set-up but still not sure. BTW has this setup replaced your canon 400mm f4? Edited January 30, 2022 by Milind 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
