Mercury transiting the Sun.

Sigma 150-500 on a K5ii

For what it's worth, have been calibrating my lenses with my K1 for the past hour or so.

Decided to test the Pentax DA HD 1.4x TC in FF mode.

Stuck it on a Sigma 70mm Macro because it was handy. At f2.8 could not see ANY vignetting. Granted it was in indoor lighting, but even cranking the exposure in LV until I had white out, I couldn't see any.

Pentax may not be claiming it's FF compatible, but in my 5 minute trial it looked fine to me.

Some evening pics. Not the best time of day for the lil'Bigma.

These were taken today using a Pentax K-5/Pentax FA*600mm f4 ED [IF]/Sigma EF-610 DG Super/Better Beamer there was very low light because of thick white cloud and misty rain.

I know the F*300 takes sharper pictures than that at F4.5. Not sure what happened but something is not right.
