I will be curious to see your future results with the DA560 + 1.4tc combo. In my experience, it has a high learning curve, which has to do with understanding and getting to know its limitations mainly: the focal length for me (always shooting handheld) meant rediscovering the maximum shutter time, but overall the AF limitations and the loss of light make this a pretty demanding combo to get good results with. Shooting the bare lens is a revelation after forcing myself to make use of the longer focal length of the combo. Still, you can get terrific shots with it.

I went out one day w/the DA560 + 1.4tc combo, determined to learn how to use it (in a day) and was so disappointed with the results. I've been hesitant to pair the 2 since then. AF is a non-issue for me, but the F8 really hurts unless it's a nice, sunny day. Maybe I'll try using the combo more often.
Those grebe shots are killer! They never, ever sit still for me!

Props for getting this one on the Ricoh Facebook page the other day! And get some Chacos for wading

Thanks! I wouldn't have noticed if someone hadn't commented about it on Flickr. You should see the wading shoes now, they've gone from jet black to grey
Here's one from today w/the 560
