Nice shots!
I thought the 500/4.5 was FF ??
It is FF. However, for the wildlife I do prefer extra reach advantage of APS-C.

It has been a while Greyser and with the set of photos you just posted perhaps you should rethink your decision All my best
I'm going to keep K-1 and D FA 150-450. 1.4x HD TC is useless though.

TC is useless? Just with the K1?

Pentax HD 1.4x AF TC is APS-C only. I haven't noticed that and just waisted $500.

Just use crop mode, 16MP is still plenty enough, plus you get (mostly) full AF coverage on the cropped frame.

I prefer full 24MP of K-3 or at least 20-21MP of 7DII or D500. With K-1 crop I shoot only Sigma 8-16, because I don't have FF UW lens equivalent and do not crop much.

Thank you, if it is related to my pictures

I'm not sure of anything anymore. All my previous likes just disappeared somehow.

I didn't know that either. Good to know for future reference, but sorry you had to find out the expensive way.

Guess the confusion is that you had included Sigma 500/4.5 among all APSC gear that you are selling
Good luck.

I just throw it on the camera and shoot. Sometimes it vignettes a bit, sometimes it doesn't. I almost always get at least 30 MP out of those files and often when cropping 9x16, 3x4, or 4x5 I get the same Image I would have using an FF TC.

My whole swallow series above is shot with the 1.4 TC on the K-1. Vignetting? What vignetting?

Although from what I understand it's worse on some lenses than others. maybe I just got lucky in my lens selections. Honestly, my 18-135 vignettes just as bad on my K-3 from time to time.

I wouldn't use it on a landscape, but with wildlife, I'm going to be cropping much of the time in any case.
