It's been a while, but I finally managed to shoot and develop a roll. This time I loaded the black KX with Velvia 50 slide film and I did my own scanning using the Canoscan 9000F.
Much of the roll was shot using the SMC 400/5.6 with a T6-2x converter. It was the first time using the lens, and adding the TC to it turned out to be a mistake. While the TC offered a longer reach, most of the images were soft. With hindsight, I wish I shot without the TC so I could see what the lens could do on its own.
Images are untouched other than reducing the size to meet forum requirements.

Here's another with the 400 and T6 converter. I was indoors and several hundred feet from the subject. I don't recall the apeture setting but the shutter was just too slow, 1/15 I think. But at least I have some evidence these big birds eat snakes. (You will just have to trust me on that.
)
Got it!, SMC 400/5.6 with T6-2X converter
