Why wouldn't it focus to infinity??? If I don't extend the teleconverter for its "macro" use, I can focus to infinity all right. Then I have a 360/5.6. Or am I missing something here?

What I meant is that this combo appears to be stable enough and strong enough when mounted on a tripod via the camera body screw hole (the 180 has no tripod ring) to not require the specialized Bogen telephoto lens support (3420).

Huh?  What?  You need the equivalent of a 360mm T/5.6 pseudo-macro that
won't focus to infinity?  What does that do for you?  Caterpillars from 20
feet?

Curiosity killed the cat, I know.
