Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hey Frank, why don´t you and Johhny just put the two 500mm lenses in series to create a 1000mm and you can dispense with all the Extenders altogether :-)

Marcel used his 500mm 2.8 L and and 1.4 extender mainly. Myself I took most shots with a 300mm 2.8 L + 2.0 extender, but even sometimes I added a 1.4 extender to that configuration which gave me (300mm * 2.0 extender * 1.4 extender * 1.3 enlargement factor = 1092mm :-))

My advise for Frank:
Buy the Canon 1200mm ;
Add a couple of 2x extenders, take a ladder in your backgarden and Voila. No need to drive all the way to Ramstein :lol:
