<p>Got it Bill. Have quite a few articles over there. Very informative and factual. Thanks :)</p>

Thanks a lot for the reminders. I prob would need to spend a near equal amount on a good tripod setup if I want to get serious about birding.

I have the Nex 6 and 7. At the current prices for used copies, they are unbeatable! :)

<p>Thanks. Sounds like the 400mm does work with the 2x-A. </p>

<p>Looks pretty darn good to me - the 300mm + 2x-A combination. Is it true that the 2x-A would only work on focal lengths 300mm and below?</p>

<p>Bill - your pictures have been key in swaying me towards the FD primes for my Nex 6 & 7. Just wondering if you are using the FD 400mm on a Nex as well?<br> I played around with a EF 300mm f4L IS + Kenko 1.4x TC + EF-Nex adapter on my Nex 6. Decent but definitely nowhere as sharp as the bare 300mm f4L was on my now-sold 1D4. Any idea whether it would be better instead to just use a FD 400mm on the Nex and crop?</p>

Small birds actually. I forgot to pay attention to the MFDs. Thanks. 14m is one heck of a long MFD!

<p>Hi all,<br> I am new to this forum. Have been looking around at FD telephoto primes for use on my Nex over the past few days. Aside from the 400mm f4.5 SSC, the 600mm and 800mm look quite tempting especially since I cant afford the EF ones, not in the next decade I would expect.<br> There doesnt seem to be that much though, especially on how the lenses turn out on Sony Nex bodies, both images and functionality-wise.<br> Happy to hear more from yall here. Thanks.</p>
