Those are good Don, yet another reason for me to save for the 300, what converter was it?

The feather detail on the Honyeater clearly shows what the 300 is capable of, even more so given there's a converter on it as well, lovely bit of kit.

Sorry if that sounds a bit like "what a nice pic, you must have a good camera" I'm not trying to detract from the fact that it still requires skill to get the shot.
