Mind you, you won't even have to get out of bed........ just open the window!

So f/8 + 3x TC which loses 4 stops.... er....

so that's f/32.

Price includes portable supernova.

Is it 4 stops loss for a 2x TC Silky? I'd have thought it was only 3 stops. A 2x TC loses 2 stops but a 1.4TC only one stop so it could well be your right. Not thought about that as I have never considered buying a 3x TC (nor would I!)

Oh well, it will be a good lens and TC combo for taking shots of extremely brightly lit portraits from half a mile away.... but you can forget about a nice bokeh at widest aperture

I dunno, how horrible would the IQ be with just the 500? Is the the current price not a bit of a bargain?
