You can't beat a swim in a frozen icy lake with

The bird looks sharp enough, but there isn't really any
fine detail on the match box to indicate how sharp it
is.

Quite a few people on here have had the same lens and
it hasn't shown much promise, also a TC on a 400mm lens
is very difficult to hold steady. If your happy with the
results just use it as it is and crop slightly.

That Sigma 400mm isn't that hot to begin with so a
converter isn't really feasible.

You would be better buying something like a
Sigma 150-500mm and using it with or without
a TC.

I've never understood why Windows doesn't have a button to
open and close the CD/DVD drawer. A lot of software used to
have it.

It's the same with Domestic HDD/DVD recorders they used to
have an OPEN/CLOSE button on the Remote....... looking at
my Remote for the Panasonic.... there it is!..... GONE!

Oddly the Remote off an earlier Panasonic has the button and
it works OK on the latest Recorders.... so it's still there
in software.

Not quite as sharp as you usual stuff, but still
very good shots. There doesn't seem to be much DOF.

I like the MGA best

Looks like because everything's copyright we can't photograph
anything even bits of newspapers or shop signs, wine/beer bottles

I'm sure things like stamps photographed from 5m away
would be regarded as fair use, we could after all
photograph a stamp on an envelope that someone has
dropped in the street it's hardly a rare work of
art. Same with bottles cans etc.

Be careful shooting videos if someone in the vicinity has
music playing too loud
