Fox-hunt...

Finally got around to going on a photo-walk today. Took some nice pics of foxes and got powned by a fox too... All in a days photography.

I brought the Eos7D with F/2.8 300mmL IS USM with me, stuck on the Manfrotto Monopod that i described in my previous post. Also brought along the 1.4 mkIII extender and the G12 for up close and personal shots.

Result!;










Yes, i mentioned getting powned by a fox. Im not proud of it, but man enough to admit it... With a big smile on my face.

When i took this last photo, there was a cute little guy/girl curiously looking at me from close by.

At the time i was attaching the 1.4 teleconverter to get a little more reach. Here are two comparison shots;

@300mm;


@420mm;



I havent noticed any big distortion in quality, but then again, im not a trained eye..

Last pic. Taken with the G12. Im very pleased with the way that camera handles. Ive got it with me at all times.






Thanks for visiting.

1.4 MkIII extender.

Finally got around to ordering one of these this week. I wonder if Canon are gonna keep the MkII's in production too. The price difference is humonguous.







Anyway. The extender comes in the usual Canon cardboard box, with the booklets that no-one reads, and a clothlike bag thingie. Smaller version of the one you get with the 24-105L F/4.0.





The build quality is what you'dd expect for this kind of money. Like a tank.



Installing it is simple. First hook it up to the lens, then attach the camera-body. At first it goes kinda stiff, but supposedly thats due to the weathersealing.







Ill be taking it with me on a photo-trip this week. Results will be posted, offcourse.
