Thanks for sharing, ivoire, hope I can take shots like those soon.

The logical extension is that you need two more camera bodies to match.

Some shots from my favourite lens .. F* 300mm f4.5.

cooldude14es · 04-04-2009, 02:41 PM

Great shots, Mike.

I see you have a few teleconverters, how good is the combination F*300 + TC?

Where in Spain do you live?

The second Robin shot was taken with the F* 300mm and Tamron 1.4x TC.
I currently have a Pentax 1.7x on loan and am trying that out with the lens.

I am no longer in Spain, I moved back to the UK 2 weeks ago (and I am missing it already

).

It would be great if you could tell us how the F* works with the Pentax 1.7x.

I'd have to say thats a great example of how well it works. Very nice

Mike.P® · 04-05-2009, 03:26 AM

Reprocessed it this morning

cooldude14es · 04-05-2009, 05:40 AM

Wow, yeah, excellent examples... thanks again for sharing.

Inspired by ivoire's excellent osprey crops, I'm also contributing a few of my own F* 300/4.5 osprey crops.

[Except for cropping, there was no post-processing performed on these images.]

100% crops -

Hmmm... Might make a good avatar... (<g>)

It's discrimination I tell you...

No love for the FA* 300/2.8...

Cheers,
Marc

One of these days I'll own one... still working towards that goal

Mike.P® · 04-05-2009, 09:25 AM

I am hoping to have an A* 300mm f2.8 and both 1.4 and 2.0 L converters by Friday.
