[Tim]

Get out!! (Senfield reference). ; So, this was 500 * 2?

I think i see an old lunar rover!

 

[HW]

having that OS sure helps huh Tim

 

[mSummers]

Nice work Tim! ; Is that cropped any?

 

[Tim]

Yeah, it's cropped. ; Just a bit...

 

[ELinder]

Gee, thanks for mooning us! ; ;D

I'm confused though; if it was the new Sigma with a 2x, wouldn't it be 500mmx2 and 6.3+2 stops? Or do non-Nikon teleconverters work differently?

I think either the Sigma didn't let the TC transmit or the TC won't transmit the EXIF data. ; I know that Sigma and Tamron both program their big zooms to fake the long end aperture as many non-pro bodies won't even try to autofocus past f/5.6.

it's a quantaray TC. ; the lens' aperture was f/6.3 regardless of the TC. ; you lose 2 stops of light but it's not due to anything inside of the lens. ; it's the extra glass and room created by the TC. ;

the photo was the equivalent of 1000mm by using the TC.

OOOOOO, AAAAHHHHH ; I LOVE it. ; Now if I can just get a shot like this myself, I'll be happy. ; I try, but ALWAYS blow it out, even when I try similar settings.
