Gene,Ken,George,Luis,Clayton,

Thanks for looking.

Ken, the D700 is an amazing camera for high ISO shooting - I just put it
into Auto ISO 6400 and forget about it. I just wish I had bought it earlier.

George, Clayton has it right, the teleconverter multiplier is included in
the EXIF data. The 'Fly By 2' is with a Kenko TC 2x, the rest with a Nikon
TC 1.7x. The Kenko works well with the 180mm prime, but not with the 70-200
zoom - the image degradation is very visible. I have to get the new Nikon TC
2x, which has an ASPH element and supposed to be pretty good. I just cannot
manage to handhold the 200-400 for any appreciable length of time - too
heavy.

Cheers
Jayanand
