These are beautiful photos, Joshua, owls in flight with meal in beak! Why aren't you Sony's primo imaging ambassador yet? You probably do more to interest people in Sony's offerings here on FM than all of the talking heads on the internet.
I am flattered and humbled at the same time, Shirley...

yes, I used a 16mm Kenko extention tube. I lose infinity focus, but I found with 600mm lens, the maximum focus distance is longer than 400mm, I estimated it to be more than 200ft. So for me, the stacked TC setup is more useful now with 600GM. I hope Kenko will make the stackable teleconverters for e-mount, like they did for Canon and A-mount, since e-mount has the long lenses now.
Thank you, Shalu! The baffle of my extension tube is in the way for being able to mount it between the TCs. During the Canon days back then and using particular TCs, we mounted the 2X right after the lens and the 1.4X at the body. Is that still the same or does the position of the TCs play a role in operation and/or optical performance? Thanks!

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for posting your images taken with this lens. Please post some more as you see fit.
Up to this point, I don't have any different images to show other than burrowing owls and peregrine falcons... . Here are a few from yesterday.
The first image was taken with the A9 in anticipation of some flying action. The other two were taken with the A7r III for more details and better noise rendition. It was still early in the morning and the lighting was fairly low. I used a 1.4X TC for the last image, my first try with that actually.
FYI, peregrine falcons prey of other, smaller birds and they typically attack them in flight. These falcons are fast and very agile flyers. Here the parents brought the prey since the chicks still have to learn to hunt. They should master that before too long, I would say.
Female chick wanting to be fed although it can fly by now already but still lacks hunting skill
Hey, I saw that first! No, mine, mine!
Are going to have that? If not, I am still hungry
