Mono,
Thank you for such a wonderful comment. I don't think NG will be knocking on my door soon but it would be fun though.
I have to say one thing about all the A* ED IF lenses. They focus like a charm. Smooth, solid and without any play at all, and the thrown in rotation is so short that near to infinity is only a fraction of 360 degrees. Absolutely top level lenses.

Gus, stop by one night when the moon is out and we can put your camera on there too.
Originally posted by Fl_Gulfer I saw the shot blown up in another forum and thought he took it from the spacestation...
MAN!!! a 27" lens and then add the camera. Look's like one of those Beer Funnels...
Just a great shot. maybe when I get rich I'll find a store that has one and look at it in the window.
FLG, Thanks. I havn't posted on the other forum in some time. But, Chris Gunn thought it would be neat to see the details and asked that I make a larger image if possible. I was surprised at just how much more detail showed when post at 1500 pixels long. So, thank you for looking and taking the time to post here too. I'll post a link to that shot after an edit to my original post as an edit shortly.

Hmmm...
Here goes...
Nice shot, but couldn't you get a little closer?
Chris... all's fair in love and war. Right? I'll try to get a little closer when I mount the dedicated Pentax 1.4X on the lens sometime within the next week or so. I
never purchased a 2X for these lenses but that would be fun someday.?
Thanks everybody,
Stephen
