Seems good value in other mounts.
Thanks.

I think it may be an idea to do the same thing but using a tripod plus at the same time of day. The lighting and shadow is quite a bit different after a few hours.(although its still blistering hot here atm and I cannot walk outside bearfoot due to my feet burning on the concrete slabs).
I may also pop over to the house and tell him to get his solar panel looked at .. he has only had it installed a couple of months and it looks mighty iffy to me.

Same shot (more or less) without TC and cropped.
Without a tripod on either shot though the focus could be slightly out on either.

And without cropping.

Much better than my 80-320mm or Tamron 28-300mm.
Would be interested to see how the new 55-300 compares.
All that was done was auto adjustment in Lightroom.
Heavy ****** though.

On AV Forums there is a chap that has a Nikon D3 that supposedly has weather sealing.
He took it out in light rain and the result .. one dead camera and a bill for over £500.
I think he has now managed to get it done for free but even so .. a 3k camera cannot stand a drizzle of rain!!

Suppose I had better unwrap the manual then ....
