Thanks for the bumps folks! I'd of bumped it myself if I weren't so ambivalent about letting it go ;~)
I resisted putting up samples because Tom's are so much better than mine and one of the reasons I'm willing to selling is because I don't think I can do it justice. But if you're selling a lens, you have to be willing to show samples so here goes.
First is my daughter's profile--wide open. It was cropped from 2:3 portrait to 4:5 portrait and lightly PP-ed .
The El Toro shots are all uncropped & unprocessed except that the first (wide open w/o TC) was brightened a bit)
The next is with my AF 1.7x TC and the last two (who knew that tequilla was good bird bait?
) with the A 2X-S. The TC shots were all at f3.2 (or whatever that is between f2.5 and f4.)
I'd be willing to include the 2x TC with the lens for a package price of $600 btw.
