 While in New Mexico I tried an experiment to get some better flight shots. My 500 f/4 is a manual focus lens but I have an old TC-16A that converts manual focus lenses into an AF lens. One afternoon at the farm deck I tried it out and was rewarded with several interesting keepers. There is vignetting because this TC was designed for shorter lenses and I had to manually focus the lens to get it in the ballpark of my subject before slightly depressing the shutter to get the TC to lock on to the subject. Well it works as long as you don't mind shooting at 800mm (it is a 1.6x TC) and cropping the image to get rid of the dark corners. Not something I will use very frequently, but this TC can help me get images I couldn't get before until I save enough beans for an AF 500 f/4. Cropped about 25%. It's good to be back on NSN after a few weeks of too much work and some Christmas fun. N90s, 500mm f/4P, TC-16A, Bogen 3021/BH-1/sidekick, Provia 100F Mike Wilson
