The new 300GM arrived....very limited time to test yesterday but I know this is going to be a classic and be up there with my past portable favs Canon 400DOII and Nikon 500PF.
The resolution this lens can pull in is staggering. The shot with the hummer on the hot poker is 5.3MP left out of the 51MP A1 and shot with the 2xTC on. But the best thing is the AF speed...fastest super-tele Sony makes and therefore can still keep up with fast birds even with the 2xTC on.
From Iceland, sorry, no birds, well, a few. I really like that Sony didn't force a built-in battery grip on the A1. I use my A1s for everything. Who the h*ll wants to lug a monster like the Z9 for international travel for landscape stuff?.
