It's not a heavy lens so you won't be needing a monopod... save that for something a little heavier

Jip. Had the Tamron version when I still had my Nikon kit so pretty excited to now have an OEM version.
Might still opt for the monopod on our upcoming camping trips. Those damn birds can certainly take their time to go sit on the right branch.

Just don't expect too much @400mm if you use the TC.

Yeah I believe the loss is 2 stops? And also a quite a drop in sharpness if I remember correctly from reading up years ago.
Probably only use that for desperate shots.

I'd flog it straight away and recoup some of the costs, the 2x tc is pretty much useless, why would you attach a tub of vaseline to your super duper 70-200mm. My experience with the same setup is you'll try once or twice and then never again, the results with the tc attached are too much of a downgrade.
No, I wouldn't go quite that far. It has its uses you just have to know its limitations
I use mine all the time.

Ha! Not what I was planning to use the lens on first. But mommy and daughter baked cupcakes for junior's 2nd birthday tomorrow and she asked me to take a snap so that she can share with a friend and daughter's teacher at school. I obliged of course.
Forgot how awesome this glass is. Probably some of the cleanest bokeh.
Less said about the icing job mommy did, the better for my physical well being

Had a little oopsie last night when I removed the body from the lens and forgot to lock the ball. Split like a sausage on the braai...
Wondering if a cycle shop might stock what I need to make a more permanent repair?

From what I can see the tripod shaft split open underneath the head.
Now held together by cable ties (and duct tape/carbon fibre tape?)
Yeah - longitudinal split - about 5cm long. Currently bound with duct tape and cable ties. Seems to be holding for now.

Perhaps try something like this? Spotted it a while ago when started to look at camping gear.

Reckon it is a better option than the much used tri-stool most carry around?
For interest sake? You prefer a roaming or stationary bib?
Yes, because it's usually for my laptop, not my bum
Isn't it roving and static? I usually get the former.

Aah. Of course.
Same diffs
Haven't been for a while anyway but I remember at a few of the big games some people could get mightily upset about not getting (or who got) the roving bibs.
Old photo but...
