Probably explains the popularity of 600mm+ lenses among many wildlife photographers. The 280 APO's minimum focus distance is a tad under 5' 6" and I always carry an extension tube when using the 280. I don't often use the extension tube but I've used it often enough that I know I'll need it again. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
