If you buy a monitor tested by TFT Central you can download and
use their calibrated profile which will be a lot better than
the factory settings.

I believe the 200 isn't that popular on this forum.
Oh go on then if I must

So that's how you go birding with a 200mm....
Catch the bird First!

They've had them for years on Sony camcorders, but I've
never really liked the idea. Always snapping shut when
you don't notice it.

There used to be a black cord with a sticky fixing at either
end which just let the lens cap dangle in the air.

I've had problems with the last three lenses I've bought off ebay.
The last one was an M42 described as "Excellent" and it was so stiff that it kept unscrewing off the camera. I returned it and the seller said he still couldn't see anything wrong with it but was going to refund.

I wrote back saying if you can't see anything wrong with it.... you have no business selling lenses in the first place

Excellent... still sharp even with the converter.
It should work OK with the 55-300mm and is a well
known partner to the DA*300

This test link seems quite a good one, but the lens is only average

Mike, Isn't this similar to the one you posted about sometime ago being designe and built by someone on Talk Photography. Seems they are about to release a portable version very shortly.
This is the link to the one "Built in Lancashire" but not from
old cotton mill parts link

This one has a built in delay to fire
the camera before or after a sound!
