I thought it would make sense to try them. As for the 2X APO extender, again, the strength of SLRs is long lenses: a 360/6.8 should be adequate for such (daylight) sports and wildlife photography I intend to do. <<< Jay, I would think that if you get a 70-180 f/2.8 + 2X APO you'd have a 140-360 f/5.6 in which case the 180 f/3.4 is still superfluous unless you want to have a lightweight 360. IMHO wildlife photos are hardly ever a casual pursuit unless you're talking about squirrels in the park. I'd think a 360 would be marginally useful unless you're very skilled at approaching animals without alarming them. Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt
