:eek: Shame it isn't image stabilised, then you could use it with the 2x adaptor as a handheld for wildlife photography, and it would also be useful for killing the odd deranged alligator.....

I wouldn't like to try and use it handheld, the thing will snap your arm off ;)

Will it take a 2x adaptor for the really long shots, I've always wanted a photo of the Hubble telescope...

Thanks, my order will be in tomorrow.

Perhaps they will now do a new range of converters, say a 0.7x to convert it to a wide angle, but not lose any of its lethal features for killing crocks and other large animals..
