Sorry about the spelling of 'convertor' in the title, I don't seem to be able to change it.

Having recently sold my mint DA* 60-250 I can see no point in keeping this rear converter.
I bought it last August (2015) and it has never been used. I only took it out of the box to check there was one in there, so obviously it is as new.
Unfortunately I bought it before the sale (paid £289) so I am asking a very reasonable £220 delivered.
In effect you are buying a brand new convertor.

I thought the ray of light on the stag in the foreground helps to 'make' the image.

Shot (image only!) at Charlecote Park.
I was concentrating on the stag in the foreground - the one behind obviously found it quite humorous!

C & C's welcome.

Well, that's sorted - definitely will use SR when I use my monopod - but I don't think it will be essential to take it to the US.
If necessary, as David said, I could always buy an inexpensive tripod and leave it out there with my son and family!

Thanks everyone for their input, it was much appreciated.

I'd go one step further and leave the monopod at home. I always find they wave about a bit from side to side or to and fro, plus they add another thing to carry.

SR is so good that for travel I don't use a tripod or monopod. I do use a tripod for macro shots and for very long exposures.
You've got me thinking now, John !

Thanks everyone - the consensus seems to be to leave SR on, so that's what I will do!
