Is anyone shooting smaller birds with this lens? If so, I'd love to see some of your shots.

Thanks!

With the idea that all the 300mm f/2.8 lenses from the past 10 years are very similar, you can look at the two galleries I have posted.

Check out imagemeister's profile. He regularly uses a 300 2.8 with a 2x extender and gets sharp shots. The 300 2.8 is regularly believed to be the sharpest lens from Canon. Arthur Morris raves about that piece of glass.

If you click on a person's username link, you get to their "profile page", which includes the line,

Number of topics created: 5 (list)

Click on the "list" and you get a list of their topics. In my case, the two galleries above are in the Photo Gallery section.
