Originally posted by normhead It's become one of those pieces of kit I just won't leave home without.
I can see why! Those marten photos are outstanding, and the bird photos are just great, especially the first nuthatch.
My TC will, be here on Monday.
Originally posted by Cold Iron It sounds like Pentax will exchange lenses based on the fact that it requires fine adjustment then?
I think it depends on the retail store's policy.
I've done both, sent a lens back to Pentax for calibration (DA 18-135, DA 15mm Ltd) and returned a DA*300 to the store for exchange. I was happy with the performance of the first two. I wasn't comfortable with auto-focus on the first copy of the 300mm, so I insisted the dealer exchange it rather than repair.
