You should know Shelley I cannot wait to try it out properly. Looking like the weekend of the 11th / 12th now. I had another quick play in the garden with my 1.4 extender on - that gives it an equivalent focal length of 700....I took a couple of shots of the cat as he sat under the bushes. I am amazed that I can get a clear image at 1/100 at focal length 700.
