White-winged Scoter (Velvet Scoter in UK) - a group of about 6 (spending most of their time under water) came in just close enough for a shot today.

Because I really wanted to try out the SMC A 2X-L converter I got. So not a great or even good shot but enough to get an idea of what I am working with.

800mm, f/8, ISO 100, 1/160s
K-3ii
SMC A* 400mm f/2.8 ED [IF]

So I guess you're pretty happy with it.

Yes. It is a good thing that I have some heavy tripods. It isn't as sharp as the 1.4X-L but it does a pretty good job. I got it for the extra reach when going after deep sky objects as it is a cheap way to get to 800 and still have pretty good quality. Since it only attaches to the high end lenses it should do well for astro. I want to give it a try on the moon tonight to see how it does with that.

Thanks swip!
no that one was shot using a tripod... I have harder times to get sharp shots with the k-3ii than with the K-1...
with the K-3ii, it gets to theorical 750mm, and I guess that's why it's more challenging.

also photo was cropped a bit (1:3) fyi

Beaver on the move. SCAN, so no EXIF data to identify the lens, but as I recall I was using a 400mm f4 Tamron when trying to photograph the beavers. Cropped to less than 1/3 of the original image.

A butterfly wing with DA* 300 F4 Works very well as a close up ( from a distance )
