Greetings - My first post here. This was taken in Wilmington, NC last month when there were plenty of these guys in a local pond. They have pretty much moved on now. Taken with a Sony A1 and a 400mm lens with a 2X TC. 1/3200, f/5.6 ISO 800. Thanks for having a look, and comments welcome!

Nice detailed shot. Obviously that 2x combo with the 400 2.8 works well.

Yes, the 2x TC is practically glued to the lens. Than you!

Excellent work, Kevin! I am now working with my 2X and the 600mm f/4.

Thanks Mike. I have the 1.4 Tc too which I love, but a friend let me try his 2 X tc which he said was great. I was very surprised since even using the 1.4 on a DSLR was iffy. Coupled with the 400mm the 2.0 does a super job I think. I heard it works well on the 600 as well.
