Testing out the 300mm with the 2.0x TC. Not the best day as it was heavy overcast and raining off and on.

A day of Pelicans shooting. When there are bait fish in the water these Pelicans get very aggressive, fun to watch.

Your images look way sharper on my computer than the others that are posted here taken with the A1 and the same lens.

Thanks - nice to have a full resolution image to take a close look at. Looks pretty nice on my 5K display. Sadly not many images posted here are full resolution.

That's interesting as I didn't sharpen the images at all. I wonder what might be behind the cause of that.

^^^ Great shots @arbitrage, it looks like the 300GM+2xTC is working out well. Have you retired the 600 f/4?

Keep up the great work.

Thanks. Haven't retired the 600. I've had it out a number of times this fall/winter.

Probably because the one of yours I looked at is full resolution whereas most others posted on FM appear to be 2048px wide so presumably downsampled and then stretched when displayed on a 5k display.

Finally got around to testing the 300 but so far it appears to be no sharper than the 200-600 at 600mm - definitely wouldn't recommend anyone upgrade from the 200-600 hoping to get sharper images.

Certainly it seems to have none of the pop one gets from the 600 f/4.

Here is to hoping there is a dramatic improvement at 420mm because I can't see myself using it much over the 600 f/4.
