A few of my favorites since the marriage of the pair.
It is the best body/lens combo I own at this time.

Is this the only photo archive for this lens? It's such a fantastic lens that I'm hoping it isn't this neglected. Here are my photos after my first month. All taken with the 1.4x TC.

Superb shots, I like them a lot.

Odd, isn't it. I've heard how wonderful it is for several years and passed on it again and again and now I am very much wishing I had not (picked it up a month or two ago from a PF'r). The third of yours there is a stunner.

A few from the past month more or less, all on the K-3, no tc.

Second and third are my favorites. Pretty good 👌

Keep posting! It's just as well I didn't find this thread until after I found my copy of the 300, or I probably would've ended up with one sooner.
