Wow! Beautiful vivid/contrasy shot!!!!!! The bokeh is very "smooth." Well, as for the EF 1200mm f/5.6L USM lens, there's only about ten in the entire world, and National Geographic owns two of them
By the way they're all hand made and cost $80,000 each - and no that doesn't include sales tax
If you take that 600 and stack a 1.4x and 2x, you can get out to almost 1700mm. I've tried it with my 500 and, if the light is good, the results are
surprisingly good. On the other hand, if the light is bad, so are the results.
Also, amazingly, with a 1 series body, with the stacked converters you will
maintain AF because the camera only knows that the converter closest to
the lens is on board. With the 500 and stacked converters, AF was a bit slow, but it did lock in.

Interestingly enough (ok, for me anyway), the 1200/5.6 may not work with the dReb, which makes it useless IMO
Ahh...but even more interesting is in that ad that Joe linked to, there's a very prominant link to the 300D site under "Useful Info". So I don't know, Paul...maybe you should buy it anyway. And, hey, if it turns out the lens doesn't work, you can always offer it for sale here at FM on the Buy and Sell forum. 'Course the buyer may have to take out a loan just to pay the PayPal fees.
