Will you get yo'se'f outta here!! Ann and I just returned from Alaska where we saw and shot, photographically speaking, moose, bear, caribou, wolves, whales, orcas and a gazillion bald eagles. My 180/2,8 Elmarit wasn't long enough. Discovered in the process that my 2X Extender-R doesn't function on an SL. Hadn't realized that I had the R-extender.
