Watcha

Hi all !
just found the site while googling for images with the sigma 2 x teleconvertor ... thought I'd say hello.
Love birds and photography, so should be a good site for me !

Re: Watcha

Hello Knobby

A warm welcome to WAB.

I have just taken delivery of the Sigma 1.4x TC today and will be trying it out during my forthcoming extended weekend break in Wales.

Good luck with your 2x and I look forward to seeing some of your bird photos in the gallery.

Richard

Re: Watcha

Hello Knobby, you're posting some nice pics.

You're now about the third person on WAB that's using a D200, what's your opinion of it mate?

Re: Watcha

Hi Alan, love it ... its very responsive, fast ... no shutter lag, quick to focus etc. I could go on for ages !
Came from a D70 which was also a very nice camera.

What you using ?
