I'm very happy with these pictures, and I have to give credit to Tina for putting the car in just the right spots!!

nice set! 18x + 1.7 multiplier!
hope to try out that 1.7 on my fz20 sometime if its ok sylvs

[Teddy Regpala]

Congrats Sylvs, and good to know you're enjoying bird photography too, especially with a great company.

As long as the camera can grab a bird picture, it's good!

Happy birding.

[Sylvia Ramos]

Thanks Ted and Manny!
Manny -- sure, you can try the tc. I have a Lumix adapter (DMW-LA3) to make it fit my camera, you can find out online if it will fit the fz20 also. I think the Olympus tc is a really good deal! I got it last August for $85.99 in Amazon.

[Manny Illana]

OT: now that i bought my daughter her own DSLR, a d60. i can "try" to reclaim the FZ20, find a TC+adapter and make it as my backup camera for birding. will have to dig up and research the net for the proper adapter.
