Well I found a gently used one for sale and took the plunge. I'll use it beside my FF gear when I can't or don't want to lug around the FF kit. I figure if I end up thinking it isn't worth it over the 300F4 I'll be able to sell it for what I paid but I have a feeling that won't happen

Thanks for your thoughts, I think your real world experience speaks volumes. It's very easy to get drawn in to the Full Frame debate etc. I love the head on shot of the spoonbill. I was wondering what post processing you used as the results you achieve with all your images posted are very consistent. It's a real joy to see such wonderful images from a very talented photographer. I look forward to seeing more.
I'm new to this forum so perhaps you could explain how I could post some images?
Thanks for the kind words! As for processing, I rarely spend more than 60-90 seconds on an image. Of the selection in the post you are referencing, nothing more was done than selective exposure/contrast/color adjustments, cloning out two hot spots in the spoonbill image, and quick run through Topaz Sharpen AI. I don't always make global adjustments. I frequently work with masks to address specific parts of the image. It's super easy and quick to do in LR.

Lens came today so I took it out in the backyard for a quick test. It's lighter than I thought it would be (and well balanced), having used the Sony 200-600 at one time I expected similiar but it is much lighter. AF seemed faster than the 300F4 +TC and IS seemed better to. Background is rendered nicely, even with the the needles of the tree I was shooting into.
Not the greatest shots but good enough for testing. I did laugh at myself, I'm so used to shooting primes the first set of photos I took I forgot to zoom all the way in

Vermilion flycatcher's have spring fever. The brilliant red males are all over the park chasing females as they court. Action is fast and unpredictable, but fun to witness.
