        Walt I seem to remember there is a law against that sort of thing in 
Georgia.

It was my intention this afternoon to duplicate yesterday's E-1 and 500/8 Zuiko 
bluebird photos with the E-1, 1.4X-A, and 300/2.8 Tamron, my hypothesis being 
that the Tamron/1.4X-A combo, although 80mm shorter than the 500/8 Zuiko, 
probably would have superior resolution and contrast, which should enable a 
fair amount of cropping and still be more better than the CAT lens photos.  But 
the weather started turning crappy, what with it getting windy and cold and 
cloudy and making me think of better things to do indoors.  And besides, the 
birds disappeared, so I didn't get any shots worth comparing.

But then, as my hands and feet starting getting cold, I thought up a new 
experiment.  Instead of hooking up the 300/2.8 Tamron and 1.4X-A to the E-1 
with the 4/3 adapter, what would happen if I plugged the 300/2.8 Tamron and 4/3 
adapter into the Zuiko Digital 1.4 TC on the E-1?  I really don't think it will 
be worth the effort, but who knows?  Anybody want to make a guess how bad or 
weird it'll be?
