JCO, I am thinking about some longer glass for the 67. My current longest is 165. I would like more reach, but would also like it to be handholdable or monopodable (new words?). What has been your experience with the 300? I know there is an old and new version. My understanding is the new version focuses much closer, but weighs more and costs lots more. Have you tried using the 300 with an extension tube to bring the focus closer than 16 feet?
