This was a previous attempt (cropped and PP'd of course) but last night I just couldn't seem to get it in focus (manual).

I use 'Adblock' plugin and don't see any of them.

Unfortunately I don't have it on the iPad so it comes as a bit of a shock whenever I use that

Looks like a bit of camera shake on the 2nd shot

Can't see it myself, but if you say so......

Apologies to Darkmunk but all my efforts at a moonshot have just resulted in a blurred moon shaped lump.

I'll try some macro shots tomorrow.

A quick comparison shot at 250mm snatched earlier:

Not brilliant, it can't help you with IQ, but it will give you an idea of the magnification factor.

By the way I can't tell any difference in the AF speed with or without.

I bought my V5s through GadgetInfinity and had no problems.

I've never considered using the TC with the macro lens. How would you like me to test it? In macro or just as a 100mm general lens?

I have the DA100WR macro lens. I'll have a play and let you know once my TC arrives.

Mine should be arriving today. If there's a clear sky tonight I'l give it a try with the 60-250. Not the 300 but it's the best I can do.

The price for the RF60 will be US $139.95.

I like the sound of that. I wonder if there will be a UK distributor or if we will have to go through GadgetInfinity.

Peter, although it is possible to recover some highlight detail, in RAW, a blown highlight is a blown highlight which means there is no detail to recover.

One of the key 'recovery strengths' of RAW is the ability to pull detail from shadows. That's why the advice (for digital) is to expose the highlights correctly as you can always adjust the shadows in PP.

This is fairly standard advice for shooting in RAW.
