With my 1.7x teleconverter it's transformed into a 500mm f/6.7. Real close to what the pros use (500-600 f/4), but $4000 less! <A HREF="http://www.sdbirder.com/photos/412856974_ccii7-XL.jpg">I took this shot of the Moon</A> and was amazed at the detail. Now I should be able to reach out and touch birds that I would have passed on before.</FONT></FONT> <FONT FACE="Tahoma"><FONT SIZE=2>I got a new camera as a birthday present to myself in March 2008, a <A HREF="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond300/">Nikon D300, (12.2 MP Digital)</A>.

It's pretty cool because I usually carry a GPS in my pocket anyhow in case I need to mark a rare bird location. Most photo sharing sites now recognize the &quot;<A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotagging">Geotagged</A>&quot; photos allowing the photos to be instantly viewed on a <A HREF="http://maps.smugmug.com/?feedType=geoUser&amp;Data=trs">Google Earth satellite map</A>.
