Q7+ DA560 (Pentax Adapter) (2520 equivalent)


100% crop

Looks good. What settings did you use for this shot? Was it stopped down on the adapter? Pentax adapter or another?

[Glorfindelrb]

Pentax adapter, f5.6 give the best result with the 560/q7 as the diffraction will impact the shot more than you benefit from stopping down.

This is a 250mm F/4.5 refractor telescope which is meant for wide field astro photography, but I found that this is a very high quality, light weight, hand-holdable 250mm lens that is very, very sharp when you nail the focus (not easy) with almost no CA due to its fluorite doublet lens. Being a doublet (i.e. just two lense elements), it's actually a pretty bright lens.
I use a BORG EOS adapter and a third party EOS-Q adapter, but they sell BORG K adapter, or even BORG Q adapter if that's what you want.

Giraffe, ISO 200, 1/800 sec, direct sun light. On a monopod.


Squirrel enjoying easy free food, ISO 200, 1/320 sec, in a shade. Handheld.

A quick jackup with a 4x objective fitted into a hole drilled in an m42 camera body cap and fitted to the Q with my custom made M42 adapter. (Post 630) This adapter ends up shorter than the standard adapter (focusses beyond infinity on a standard lens) and this works well with the microscope objective lens. All images handheld, pped in gimp and not cropped. I think the Q is an ideal sensor for this. On my K01 there is vignetting and softness on the edges.

Very impressive GUB! Very impressive.
Thanks for sharing.

Sample Image. This len allows close-focus on Q at tele-focal range

Oh man I just found one of these today for $10 after seeing this picture I can't wait to try it out

I borrowed this lens for a short while for testing, and I think it's good on Q7 (except that you cannot change iris once the lens comes off of Canon camera). This one was shot wide open at f/2.8.

You should put a picture with the lens atached

Won the above lens in an ebay auction.
Brand spanking new so had a little play on both original Q and QS-1...

Mmm that looks nice. You think its a good election for a telepbhoto prime?

[spinno]

Theoretically 75mm would be equivalent to 300-375 depending on which Q variant you use so I would say yes. The lens is Hoya Pentax but I don't hold that against it...
