This evening I scouted locations for winter sunsets. I found a nice spot, complete with flocks of Canada geese, so now I just need a more interesting sunset.

I keep looking at the burning suitcase pic, trying to imagine the story
A lovely package arrived this evening – a used Nikon 35mm f/1.8G. This should complete my lens collection for now – two slow VR zooms, and two fast primes. Of course I had to take some pictures . . .
Another old dog, ISO 1600, f/2, and 1/60. I have read complaints about bokeh on this lens, but it looks good so far.
Two samples to show the performance of the TC20EIII with the old 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S (becoming a 160-400mm f/5.6 with clearly faster AF than the 80-400mm VR):
Nikon D3, 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S + TC20EIII @ 330 mm, ISO 400, 1/200 sec, f8, handheld.
This new TC works well with old 80-200mm af-s, at least for short distances.
At least for short distances (< 20m ) and for "stalking" wildlife, it appears this new TC works well with the 80-200mm af-s.

Zichar, the flames were legitimate! They were pretty well controlled on the suitcase, but got a little out of hand at one point. My sister is brave lol.
