So Brandt (Kayaker) and I went to the Merritt Island Bird Sanctuary yesterday, about an hour east of Orlando. We tried out each others long eyes - the Tamzooka 150-600 and the Sowitzer 150-600. Brant even put his 1.4TC on the Sowitzer and got a bit closer. Reach seems to never be enough....

We had a lot of fun. Saw lots of birds, ducks, herons, terns, ibis, spoonbills (3 really) and even a cool sunset. I posted some of the bird pics that I took, a mix and match between the T and S on Flikr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/77760916@N05/).

As I did a multishot pano of the sunset and haven't processed it as of yet, Brandt may get the sun set up before me. Cool settings.

JRW - next time down to Orlando it is worth the trip.

We spent 1/2 the day there and really only scratched the surface.

Now if only Canon could come up with a 3,000 mm F4.....
