This was my first time using the 2 x with my new 600mm version 3 and I am really pleased with the sharpness.
There are oodles of godwits in Iceland but I found it very difficult to approach them when they were bathing. I spotted some godwits bathing at the far end of a pond (where we were shooting terns) and made my way to the other side. Using a big patch of lupins I camouflaged myself as best I could and waited. Within 30 minutes this handsome fellow came in for a bath. I was able to get off about 30 frames before he got spotted me and took off.
I am quite pleased with this frame and hope you like it.
