I've gotten some incredible photos with the lens

The images are very sharp. Great job. What body did you use?

Since i sold my K-5 II to fund the K-3 II, I didn't have a chance to test the various combinations of gear directly.

IME, there comes a point where if you have to raise the ISO too high to accommodate the use of a TC, you lose the advantages of greater detail capture.
