Half-moon
Posted By: jheu02, 09-28-2009, 06:25 AM

1st attemp at shooting the moon - looking forward to a full one and winter skies soon. Shot was taken thru a Soligor 85-300 C/D MC at 300mm and coupled with a ProSpec 2x TC on a K20D. Monochrome "red filter" +1 contrast. 1/5" F:? ISO 400. Effective focal length 900mm.

? for the group -- if using a TC (I know only as last resort) do you adjust the focal length for the TC on the SR screen or input the actual focal length of the lens minus the TC? This shot was SR-off since tripod and 2" timer were used.

If you were to use this TC+M lens combo on your camera for hand-held shots, yes you would include the TC's multiplication factor when entering in the focal length into the camera. So a 300mm lens + 2x TC would be entered in as 600mm (I think the closest to this figure is 500mm on the camera)...

thanks Ash, I kind'of figured that but wanted to check for sure as I didn't remember reading anything about that in the User manual. I just checked the camera and the range goes to 800mm, so I'm covered there, but I still don't plan on using the TC too often.
