sort of..........yes, i think so!

how about D3s + 300mm f/2.8 + TC2x?
two focal range in one shot. 300 or 600. or even + TC1.4x, can get 420mm.
500mm f/4 + TC1.7x & TC1.4. for birder, manual focus is okay.

500mm f4 + 1.4X teleconverter are the standard weapon for birding.
you know, i wouldn't mind using mf lenses again. i had used them for years. nikon ais 300 f2.8, 400mm f3.5 and 500mm f4 p.

i came across that the kingfisher is across a small lake. it wait and dive .......
i do wish i have 600mm + 2X TC. not sure that 1200mm will fill 3 quarter frame or not?

the weight is more or less like a 400 f2.8. i think 600mm f4 is too heavy and therefore less maneuverable!

But it should meet the big daddy of headsets:

Are they HD600s? Puny against the might of the HD800, bwahahaha. Also, yes, these AD700s are huge. About twice the size of my friend's Grado SR60i's.

Nope... not even close.

Those are the very limited production run HE/HEV-90s from Seinnheiser. Otherwise better known as the Orpheus.

You can buy about 100 (make no mistake, one hundred) of those AD700's with this thing.
