Just a quick question for the 500 f4.5 and 560 f5.6 shooters, do you ever find that the minimum focus distance is limiting? The sigma 500 f4.5 is 4 metres and the 560mm is 5.6 metres, I mean I get annoyed with my 150-500 focusing at 2.2m. Do you use extension tubes when up close? Also what is the IQ like with the Pentax 1.4 TC and does it let you focus closer? Im getting a job soon so I may be able to treat myself to more extravagant gear if I get good hours :D
Also here is a chestnut breasted manikin from today and my green tree Python.

The teaser for the Pentax Ks2 was just posted on YouTube. Looks like they may be showcasing a bit of the video capabilities?

On the topic of using monopods and tripods i think it depends on the person, situation and subject. For example, i if i go to Oxley creek (open bush area with lots of room to move around) i may take the monopod for the bigger birds. But because its quite bright and the small birds are usually on the ground and moving fast, a monopod or tripod is going to slow your movement down way to much. However if im going to somewhere like a rainforest and im shooting birds like a casowary where they generally move slowly and its dark and you need slower shutter speed, then the monopod will be necesary ( its a completely different story with fast moving small birds near to you when you need to use a external flash and fast shutter speed) When using with the monopod on still birds at 500mm.
