Just In!
B&H is happy to announce that we will now be increasing our reward program and paying a 4% reward on all purchases of most DSLR & Mirrorless cameras and lenses. With all the ongoing rebates going on this month this is a very exciting additional savings for our customers. We strongly believe that this is the best time to buy photo gear in a long time.
You bet your sweet hinny it’s sharp! But here’s the rub, if your long lens technique is not spot on, the TC-20eIII (2x) will magnify your lack of technique. In another words, you won’t get a sharp image. The 800AFS comes with its own dedicated teleconverter (as did the 600mm back in the 80’s, what we now call the TC-14e) the TC800-25e producing a blistering sharp 1000f7.1. When you add the TC-20EIII to the 800mm you’re at 1600 f/11 and at f/11, AF operation except on bright days with the center AF sensor is not possible. So between the focal length and manually focusing, you’d best have great long lens technique to get that sharp image. On a side note, we tried the TC800-25e on a 600VR2 and it would not attach. We did not try to force it, seemed unwise out on the tundra. This Merlin falcon was shot with the 800 / 2x combo and the 24×30 print looks gorgeous!
The Really Right Stuff LC-A13 80-400 repl collar is now available and is a VAST improvement over the stock collar that comes with the lens. The collar operation is smooth as silk, not quite as tall as the stock collar and more importantly, is much beefier than the stock collar. Unlike the stock collar, you remove the RRS collar by unscrewing the knob and than swinging half of the collar over the barrel. Can’t recommend this enough to you!
The next generation of the Di-GPS is now available and it is by far the best! The Di-GPS Eco is the smallest, lightest, most battery friendly and now MC cord friendly GPS on the planet. I can’t say enough good things about it other than, I wish I had it last week in Churchill where the cable on my GP-1 broke again! You see, there is no cord with the new unit. It slips into the 10 pin socket and goes. And it provides a socket so you can use your cable releases. They have models for cameras like the D4 (pictured) or like the D7100. GPS has come a long way!
