I can't say I think this is a great image, but I'm still getting use to the 560 w/the 1.4x TC
Hello Kameko,
I will be curious to see your future results with the DA560 + 1.4tc combo. In my experience, it has a high learning curve, which has to do with understanding and getting to know its limitations mainly: the focal length for me (always shooting handheld) meant rediscovering the maximum shutter time, but overall the AF limitations and the loss of light make this a pretty demanding combo to get good results with. Shooting the bare lens is a revelation after forcing myself to make use of the longer focal length of the combo. Still, you can get terrific shots with it.
Here are some of the DA560 without the 1.4tc that are cropped at least as much as to mimic the combo focal length (and some more). I keep trying out what produces the better results...
Chris
