I don’t know if it’s the lens you use or your digital work flow but you images always just out the screen.

Iain I don`t quite understand the comment?

The first and last images show birds with similar colouration, but different beaks - these are excellent examples of why I can have trouble determining (OK, guessing!!) the species

Very nice shots!

Would you agree that the 300 works really well with the 2x? I don't think any zoom works as well with the 2x as the 300mm does.

Thanks Tony, male kestrel, geese, and meadow pipit, the 2x works very well with the 300 2.8 e-mount, as does the a-mount 300 2.8 and 2x which I still have, the only reason I bought the e-mount version is because the a-mount on the lea-5 adaptor does not allow use of the 1.4 or 2x tcs

Sorry, I missed the jump out the screen. They are so sharp and clear.

Very nice! If you don't mind me asking, how far were you from the stationary birds?

 

[Unframed Dave]

They look very sharp, I might do a bit of experimenting.

The meadow pipit around 30-35 feet, the kestrel 75-100 feet away

Thanks Dave the lens works well with tcs , but as you know good light helps a lot
