I did pre order an buy it, when it came out. It is a good piece of hardware IMO, the price of 180€ for a few pieces of plastic is exaggerated, as most of Nikon's plastic accessories

That must be that same 400mm we looked at in the Hague, which i then also bought.

The same kind of lens, yes, but my copy has been me for a good many years. At least 25 years or so. Actually, I first used one around '75 if memory serves and found it enticing back then, but couldn't afford it at the time. Strangely enough considering what I purchased over the years later

Thanks, John. I will try and post more!
Excellent additions by John, colorful, Birna, only she can notice such images, Fons, depth of field, and Paco,Paco,Paco!

Thanks Jakov

The Norwegian dealers report 'ES-2 currently out of stock -- new supplies are expected'.

I think this is quite typical for small accessoires no matter what brand we are speaking of. Stocks are almost of the JIT category, except due to longer supply lines these days items are more frequently unavailable for a period of time.

I recently had back orders on a LAOWA 'macro' lens and the FTZ adapter and both were out of stock for 3 months or more.

HCS:

Really enjoyed your mushroom collection.  I find fungi a very fun fall subject, gets me walking around the woods even more than usual. In Michigan we are blessed with countless woodland trails, esp. in the north, so lots of opportunities .  I like them all, but the second one made me smile, reminds me of a large clam. 

Look forward to more.
