It's a problem I'm colour blind so have to work the numbers or histograms.

I'm at the stage where I'm never sure if it's me or the equipment. If I were to be brutally honest with myself it's still me. I never think of taking landscape without a tripod so why should wildlife be different!!ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-32084071634223611402010-01-03T10:33:15.434+00:002010-01-03T10:33:15.434+00:00I do not think a teleconverter on a zoom lens work...I do not think a teleconverter on a zoom lens works to well Adrian. You would need to use a tripod with that set-up to get a sharp image and a moving subject would be very difficult indeed.My advice would be to leave the converter off..a 500mm should be adequate for most situations...I only have a 400mm and generally get by.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908298905702314245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-58729660396371757112010-01-03T10:32:39.807+00:002010-01-03T10:32:39.807+00:00I have the 170-500mm Sigma and I find photos from ...I have the 170-500mm Sigma and I find photos from it are softer than through the Canon 70-200mm. Reviews I've read often give the same results. Most seem to say the Bigma is better around 420mm. With the 2x teleconverter it is going to be a slow lens combination which needs really bright conditions to get a fast shutter speed. That's my impression anyway.<br />I know what you mean about the weight. When I get the Sigma out it always goes on a tripod so I don't take it out with me. I just cannot hold it steady enough.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-37678119147258725182010-01-03T10:02:51.946+00:002010-01-03T10:02:51.946+00:00The view in the lane is disturbing and emotional ...The view in the lane is disturbing and emotional - come-back-to-look-at-again-able.<br /><br />The chaffinch looks a trifle exotic!<br /><br />LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-73431849577007089442010-01-03T02:13:18.840+00:002010-01-03T02:13:18.840+00:00Tony none of it is new just decided to try a telec...Tony none of it is new just decided to try a teleconverter on the long lens.
