    A long lens, but they tend run a bid dearer than the reserve memberships. Or maybe patience & luck, I've got the first one, but don't seem to carry much of the second :-O. If you just intend visiting the reserves, there's normally adequate hides, just sit and wait.

    I think you'll need a tripod if you go for the 1.7, or some means to steady the camera. I've seen results from hand held with the converter and they weren't good, but 100% improvement if tripod mounted.
