REPLY: It is amazing how close you need to be a small bird to fill the frame even with a 600mm with 1,4X converter. Most people have too high expectations about what a long lens can do. Even those of us who actually do use very long lenses are constantly being surprised. At least I am. Animals around my parts are exceptionally shy and its extremely rare that close encounters with wild animals can be experienced. Pål
