I have yet to see a 28-200 that is acceptably sharp without a TC and I am
a user of TCs. A 1.5 would indeed put you in the three hundred mm area but the Kenko Pro 300 is 120 dollars while the cheapest Canon 75-300 lens is about 170 - and good enough to use a TC on. -- http://www.chapelhillnoir.com home of The Camera-ist's Manifesto The Improved Links Pages are at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/links/mlinks00.html A sample chapter from "Haight-Ashbury" is at http://www.chapelhillnoir.com/writ/hait/hatitl.html "Toomanyputters" wrote in message m...
