With much regards to ED. If it was me I'd have as few things growing out of the tops of my tigers as possible. Isolate those kitties. Did I say the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR? I meant the AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR! A measly ten grand USD Leica only gives you 50mm's for that @ f.95 not even a whole f stop! I think the extenders slow down your glass too much giving you too much DOF you need a fast prime very long lens. But maybe it balances out.
