To be honest I havent had anyone pay me by anything other than Paypal for ages and I always use them when making a payment myself.
If they were to raise their rates though on top of Ebays latest rises that would meant 20% in fees for anything sold via auction.

Saying that, where else is there to go?

I noticed the other day that business sellers are still paying the old seller rates in catagories that I usually dabble in so its almost worth registering as a business.

I had the same email this morning and went bonkers until I realised it was accessories such as memory card, batteries and camera cases that were being hit and not cameras or lenses. (at least thats how I read it after the second time).

Looks like a no go as the AF will only work correctly at F/4.5 which limits the focal length to around 70mm plus what extra is gained with the converter on the lens.

Maybe not, look at the Exif in Jacks pic and it says 450mm

Its the out of focus area behind the main subject (Thats how I basically understand it anyway).

I have the Kenko 1.5 on my Tamron 70-300 permanently only problem it hunts a bit trying to focus in poor light
Well that's the UK out then

Looks like the Kenko then Ian as the Tamron is nigh on impossible to find and expensive when you do.
I seem to remember someone selling one in the for sale section a few days ago.

Your lens is f4.5 at the short end though isn't it?
What is it at 300mm?

Personally I wouldn't be using a teleconverter at all unless the lens is f4 or faster but if you must then the Tamron 1.4x or Kenko 1.5x would be your best bet.
You would probably be better using the Tamron and cropping hard.

Which lens?

And I feel guilty charging £8 for special delivery on a lens
