I've recently installed a bird feeding station outside my window (I'm stuck in bed 24 hours a day) and started taking a few bird pics again, but these days the only lens I have suitable is a tamron 70 - 300 F 5.6.
It works fine, shots are fairly sharp (shooting raw) but there's noticeable CA when the suns shining.
I had thought of a couple of options lens wise but I keep getting drawn to the option of getting a 70 - 200mm F 2.8 & a 1.4x extender and maybe later adding a 2x extender.
This option would give me up to 200mm for other uses as well with the fast aperture, 280mm @ F4 with the 1.4 x and later 400mm @ F5.6 with a 2x extender.
The only other options all include either fixed focal lengths, slow aperture's and expensive glass.
Your thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
This is an example of the kind of result I'm getting at present (having to shoot through double glazing sadly).
