Do you mean you are taking a chance as far as trying out portraiture? If that's the case then I wish you luck good sir. The important part is to have fun.

Really nice shot LeRolls. Well......You've done it. I've sold all my gear to buy a pair of these and just decided to follow you around. So if you see me don't worry. It's only a former Pentax user

I agree Chris, that's a great photo!

Took this earlier today with some of the lilac in our back yard as part of the Single in May challenge.

Even a rock pigeon is beautiful if you're willing to look.

Because the images are very different, a critical comparison is difficult and a bit unfair, but it looks as though the Tamron + TC is significantly better.

Is that the Tamron PZ 1.4x ? I have and like the results of that converter with my Tamron 70-200 2.8 a lot. But, in all fairness, it looks like the FA is focused on the grass 3/4 of the way between the two? Perhaps that lens needs some micro adjustment?

Is the Pentax TC. Now I noticed that I used it also with the FA 100-300mm.
Good results with the Tammy, but mine is not at all sharp at the long end wide open.
Probably you're right about the focus. My bad!
