Have you questionnned the extender - I have, and no longer use it even though it amounted to shooting 820mm eq. and f7. Now, shooting at 600 handheld requires a steady hand - not in the LUg tradition of UWA Laga ... (wink) > Closer it is not as bad. I got more sharp shots using manual focus > actually.
