Well, perhaps steady, but not perfect hands. I managed about 8 shots
of the loon, but only two were sharp, mostly due to the movement of
the boat. It's nice, however, when you get lucky!
And lucky I was, for the Loon was in deep shade, and it was getting
towards dusk.

The adapter is fine... it's your camera which gets less sensitive in
dim light... and because we are using aperture priority, as we dial
in smaller apertures, the AF/FC has a harder time... add in things
like shade, dusk and shadows; and such systems often fail us. When
I use the 400 Telyt, w/2X converter, it is an f13.6 combo, wide
open. FC simply does not work, even in brilliant sunshine!
I was pleased, however, to find it worked very well with the
80~200/f4 Vario & 2x... (an f8 combo) even in the deep shade! Impressive!

I find the beep very helpful, as it is not loud enough to be heard by
my subjects, and it means that I can turn the "superimposed display"
off... thus no little flashing red squares to interfere with my
concentrating on the subject.

Thanks, Eric, for your kind words. :-)
Cheers!
