FInlay is not England proof until end of Febuary, he is going back the end of March so I have a few months of sunshine yet.
Christmas day its me, him and a chicken .. my wife and son are already back in the UK.
Recent photo of the dog, was pleased with this one, he actually sat still for 3 seconds.

These are one of the nastiest creatures in Spain, you can have a read about them HERE if you wish.
Needless to say my walking the dog over in the forest is coming to an end very soon.

It will be interesting to see how the 100-300+1.4xTC at 300m/f4 (=420/f5.6) compares to the 120-400 at 400/f5.6
Not sure how it will compare but I teamed up my Sigma 2X DG EX teleconverter with the Pentax F* 300mm f4.5 that I got from a member here last week for the first time today and I was quite pleased with the results considering it was 600mm hand held and manual focus.It will be interesting to see how the 100-300+1.4xTC at 300m/f4 (=420/f5.6) compares to the 120-400 at 400/f5.6

Why not order one at SRS and have a chat with Chris (The owner).
Im sure he can wangle something over the cashback, if not im sure someone here would be prepared to do something.
You only need a UK address for the cheque to go to I would have thought.

I think it would look rather good on the new white K2000 that has just been announced.

Their prices on Ebay are usually a little more expensive once you take off the free postage to forum members (they only seem to do buy it now).
They do sometimes put clearance items on there though which are not usually on their web site, I presume the Sigma 2X converter was cheap because it doesnt work correctly with the new 70-200mm HSM so they will be bringing out a new version.
Nice price for me though, works well with the older version of the lens ...
