I want to start taking a few more bird photos as I do enjoy it and it gets me out of the house. My longest lens is the Sony 70-700 f2.8 MKII. I am going to hire the 2x converter (only £28) and see how I like it. I know it will not be perfect but i've read the 70-200mkii works better than most with the 2x. I did own the 200-600 but found it too heavy for my back.
