I am going Friday a.m. to do some bird pics at the Orlando Wetlands park, 1st thing a.m. and will have the 2x with me for the 100-300 and will post the 'real world' images from that trip over the weekend.

I am getting a roller/backpack type case (Vanguard VEO SELECT 55T Trolley) as my current back isn't thick enough and it is a bit dated/used up as well.

Also picked up the R5II for kicks and giggles and will be posting side by sides w/ the R5 Mk1. Don't expect massive differences, but will see.

Stay tuned.

Mike
